I just love to learn and share .. I would love to share so much.. about nutrition .. I was a health coach and naturopath with specialization in nutrition in a few clinics around the world .. it's my true passion.. * can tell and teach you all about detoxing (juicing being my favorite one ..) and nutrition and proper food combining and life motivation :p * can tell and teach you about Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness (NOSC) - and paths - from DMT/Ayahuasca (from Amazon rain-forest) to Holotropic Breathwork * meditations from Vipassana to sky is the limit .. * can tell and teach you about software and technology from bitcoin to bittorrent from darknet to investing .. I want to understand this beautiful world, cultures, people... instead of hearing or seeing about it... I want to experience it... I want to meet interesting people, to show them my culture and for them to show their culture... Burning Man and alike transformational events... DMT / Ayahuasca - after birth and death the third most powerful experiences a human can have - one of the most important things I have done in my life... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayahuasca This will change your life... CURE FROM MOST TERMINAL DISEASES film: Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead - www.fatsickandnearlydead.com film: The Gerson Miracle film: The Beautiful Truth film: Dying To Have Known film: The Secret // The Living Matrix // What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? I LOVE nature - if you have not experience the amazing adventure from hiking/trekking/camping ... and you want to - you could couchsurf my tent - I have all the equipment that we may need for 2x people ... and I would love to introduce you to this magnificent activity... I enjoy making time-lapses - perhaps we can make one together - and I'll show/teach you all about it... About me: I love this life and every moment of it! I think this life just very well might be heaven... we can do anything that we set our minds to... (and I smile a lot) While being very optimistic and having a positive outlook on everything, I do have a very strong grasp on reality and the world around us ... with all the positives and negatives. I am in constant search and exploration - seeing, trying and inventing new things and concepts... PHILOSOPHY * enjoy life * do onto others as you would have them do onto you * be honest with your self and others - else you are trying to be something you are not...
