Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live in my most beloved city - Barcelona - and get my spanish fluent. Maybe ill pick up a little Catalan too.
ABOUT ME
Easy going (but everybody says that). I like a beer and a good conversation about the world and the strange things in it. I like active people so it rubs off on me and people who aren't afraid to talk about any topic.
I am committed to making the world a better place for people - be it through volunteering, engineering or just being nice. Also rock climbing is fun.
PHILOSOPHY
That will take a few years to really understand. I think this whole 'just to have fun' thing is a cop-out. I subscribe more to a positive conception of freedom that entails responsibility also. The world is a vast interconnected network and we owe every person in the human race (not to mention the sustenance of the earth) something for our own existence and oppurtunities in life. We are an impossible spark in the default darkness of non-existence and we need to recognise this and enjoy the wonderment along with the terror.
