About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Freeing myself and then freeing the world!

ABOUT ME

I like life. And I want to make the most of it. I don't want to spend my life working 9 to 5 inside a cubicle. But I also realize that I don't want to just sit on the beach all day and take it easy. That's how your mind and body atrophy and die.
It's all about goals. I am tired of backpacking then coming home to a crappy dinky apartment and getting a crappy job, then rinse and repeat the cycle.
So I am currently working on a way to make income that will keep coming in no matter where I am in the world.
That way I get a nice quality of life at home, and I get to travel the world without sacrificing my nest haha.

I want to be able to continue doing my sport, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and compete in it. But to do so, the classic job model has to go.

So this is my goal right now. Postpone the fun of travel, spending, training, etc. And focus on THE goal. My business which I can tell you all about in person (:

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I belive we only have 1.
If you belive in an afterlife that's fine but if you don't, you tend to get the most out of everyday.

And remember you probly don't get a second chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I'll spread the word about for sure. Every where I can. That way It'll increase the number of available couches all around the world for us to use (:

Oh and my couch is also available.. but I'm not sure how many backpackers have an interest in Sherbrooke haha.

Brazilian Jiujitsu
Austrian Economics (Not as boring as it sounds I swear!)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The BIG lebowski, Princess bride, Old School, The Matrix. Those are just genious.
Books: I'll shorten my list to just a few real good ones. Guns, Germs and Steel, The GOD delusion, The Primal Blueprint, Economics in one lesson, What has government done to our money,1984, Brave New World, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Animal Liberation, Vagabonding and the 4-hour work week. the last two are a MUST for everyone on this site.. No shit!

Music: A lot of variety really.
If I where to pick a few groups I'd say, Rage Against the Machine, Jack Johnson, Pink Floyd, Marilyn Manson, Rise Against, Ratatat, Hilltop Hoods, The Lonely Island and Jon Lajoie ahah.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the main thing dividing people in the world is a lack of economic understanding. Sounds strange but I can make a good case (:
I like philosophical arguments haha.

And I could also teach Brazilian Jiujitsu to anyone that want's to learn it.
