Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION:
like many others, find out what I actually want
ABOUT ME
I am pleasantly terrified of new people... but its just like looking at cold water on a hot day - scary but usually very nice when you finally dive in.
If you meet me you can try figuring out where I actually am from but it's a long story :) . I am cheerful, quite adventurous and curious. I travel mostly to experience nature: heights, big views, weather and elements. People inspire me tremendously and I love this feeling of literally surfing on this wave of opening up to each other.
I have been traveling a lot in the past, but a few years ago I settled down for a bit in Montreal, Canada. I am currently going through a big career change and hope that this city continues to inspire me for what I will do next. However, it has an unfortunate shortage of mountains and sea, and I try to catch a breath of fresh air in different hilly places any chance I get.
PHILOSOPHY
generalizing is good but bad.
I am LGBT friendly.
