ABOUT ME

I'm a young traveller who is adventurous, adaptive, out-going and willing to accept any challenges. I tend to move from place to place so it's really hard to write down the name of the city I am currently living in I find one of Einstein's sayings very true which is: "The only source of knowledge is experience". And for me travelling is the best way of experiencing by meeting new people from different cultures with different view points, by letting life surprise you from time to time and never knowing what may lie ahead. Thus, in the end, the more you reflect all those knowledge you keep on gaining with yourself, the deeper you dig in the answer for the meaning of life.

I am currently settling in Sai Gon. But well, I will try to keep on traveling, moving to the places that I have never been, immersing the cultures and living the moments of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

“Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.”

"The only source of knowledge is experience" -Albert Einstein-

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are"-Kurt Cobain-

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? - Pink Floyd-

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. - T.S.Eliot -

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. - Bruce Lee -

I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine. - Eddie Vedder -

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to rock mostly but I love good music in general, of course it has to be deep enough to dig :D ranging from symphonies, instrumentals to rock, folk, jazz, blues. I used to play guitar in a rock band in Joensuu, Finland. To mention a few artists, it would be Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Cream, Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Metallica, RHCP, the list goes on...Recently I have been listening to a lot of ambient and meditation music too

My favourite movies are Fight Club, Matrix, Into the Wild, Forrest Gump, Godfather, Blood Diamond, Requiem for a Dream, Inside Job, Amelie, Almost Famous and many others. Directors: Stanley Kubrick, Chris Nolan, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino

Not a bookworm but I do enjoy novels a lot! To name a few: The philosophy book, On the Road, Children of Freedom, Romance of Three Kingdoms, Hemingway's books, Murakami's books
