About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There is no security in life, only opportunity

ABOUT ME

I am soon to graduate from International Management and Spanish studies at the University of Stirling. Afterwards I plan to embrace an adventure in New Zealand, teach abroad and explore the world as much as possible.

My hobbies are cycling, hiking, snowboarding, films and reading, craft beer and travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason.

"Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did do. So throw of the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sales. Explore. Dream. Discover." /Mark Twain/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went for 2 weeks to Barcelona to learn Spanish. I didn't learn a lot, but those 2 weeks were amazing - full of partying, doing crazy things and having an awesome time.

Glastonbury alone 2 years in a row. Probably the best time of my life.

One of the best feeling - snowboarding on a completely fresh snow. No one else. Just you and your freedom.

Living in Spain for 5 months, learning the language and surfing
