About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To achieve my potential. And have a lot of fun :D I'm at a stage in life when I am aware of and inspired by the career path that I want to pursue and that I am passionate about - I just need to practice the self discipline, putting in the time and effort, be less indulged by the sweet distractions of life :P

ABOUT ME

I am a pleasant and kind person, interested in you name it. I can be hyper at times and down tempo at others. I don't have the greatest of memories for cultural references, but whatever impresses me I do remember. I rather find more pleasure in problem solving, understanding how things work, meditating and discussing on a range of concepts such as intelligence, consciousness, understanding, ethics, spirituality, and wish I did a better job at finding the best books and sitting down with them to do the proper research.
I am easy going, like to laugh and act silly sometimes, I like trying everything in life, from hard to soft, haha! :D. I'd say my humour is random, witty, considerate. I think and have been told I am kind and loving, and it's true, it makes me feel tingly and really excites my brain :D

PHILOSOPHY

Ultimately, the people we need to truly make happy in this life is ourselves - and it is even better if we could do this by making other people happy in the meantime!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Really enjoyed Oxford Lindy Exchange 2015. Sailed in an abandoned boat on an isolated lake with some good friends while smoking at night under a clear sky; explored the mountains of Romania and also its Danube Delta; made love in a wheat field.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be humble, charming, successful, fun. Keep yourself productive and smart, and try to do only things and spend time with people you love in order to love yourself. Care about yourself but don't put yourself above anyone else.
