About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to see the world the way that it was meant to be seen. I want to interact with the locals, dive into the local culture and to push myself to accomplish my dreams.

ABOUT ME

So I just finished My Amazing Travels Around the World, Part I, and used CSing very much through out my travels, particularly in Eastern Europe and Canada. Now that I am home I live with my parents in the Suburbs and they are unfortunately not down with CSing (I know what squares) BUT in probably 2 years I will move and have my own place and DEFINITELY plan on hosting as much as I am able too. For now tho I am stuck in the suburbs :(

My philosophy is that I have one life to live so I better live it right. Im not a big partier, I would much prefer to hike the country side then to be hungover lol.

Basically I just finished a 14.5 month trip that took me from Portugal to India more or less overland and then to Singapore, two months in Australia, one week in Fiji (to learn to surf) and then a hitchhiking trip from Vancouver to Toronto.

PHILOSOPHY

Shit Happens, let it ride

Happiness is relative to the individual

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I accomplished my dream at the age of 21.

Teach, Learn, Share

Im a firm believer in Determinism. If anyone wants to know more about it feel free to email me about it. Its basically saying that everything that happens is based entirely on some cause... and that cause was based on one before it and so on till the beginning of time. Its simply an expanded logical link of cause and effect which leaves us with the consequence of no REAL free will... how can we have complete free will if our choices are based on some past event(s)?... this seems to harsh a consequence to live with but I assure you that it actual makes for a very peaceful life of understanding.

Once again if your interested email me with questions and ill try my best to answer them. I dont have all the answers but I took a course on it and have been thinking about it daily since. (I also welcome those comments aposed to Determinism as it will help me better understand if Determinism really is true)
