CURRENT MISSION

1: Act in a sitcom/movie. 2: Inspire positive change.

ABOUT ME

Friendly, outgoing, kind person who's passion for learning burns with the intensity of 10000 suns. I also enjoy living a healthy lifestyle.

I'm also an AIESECer, Circle K-er and Martial Arts Tricker for anyone that is concerned.

Fictional & historical comparisons that may/may not help: I'd be an air bender, Konoha shinobi, Gryffindor, court jester, more to come when I think of them.

I'm currently a student majoring in Psychology and Marketing at the University of Auckland in New Zealand but I am doing an exchange at the University of California Santa Barbara for Fall 2012.

As I guest I'll be the very best, guesting with the grace of ten thousand swans. I'll be clean, willing to help around if needed, entertaining perhaps?

PHILOSOPHY

Be truthful to yourself and others, follow your dreams and be modest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning to trick.

Seeing a Mola Mola while scuba diving.

Climbing 3.8 kilometers up a snow mountain.

Rock climbing natural faces in Yangshuo.

Total mental breakdown in the air when my dad forced me to try paragliding.

Watching the documentary "Food Matters".

A lot of these experiences came from my father taking me to do them and while at the time I did not appreciate it as much (just wanted to stay home and play videos games everyday) I am now very grateful he did. Lesson: Be a cool parent and give your children intense experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Health tips:

Cherish your health, treat it as the most important thing.

Don’t smoke

Eat a healthful diet

Maintain proper weight, get regular aerobic exercise (min 30 - 60 mins a day.

Develop a passion for something in your life, not for a living necessarily, just something fun.

Give to others.

Be humble.

I know a lot of nutritional knowledge, I'm super into that so if you need healthy food choices I'll be glad to drop some knowledge bombs. And also super deep conversations about society and different ways of living/thinking I tend to enjoy having.
