About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Widen my perspectives, develop friendships, be helpful

ABOUT ME

Happy-go-lucky fellow who loves to meet fun and clever people, have a good laugh, hear and tell incredible stories but most importantly take part in them.
Traveling and writing are my hard drugs.

PHILOSOPHY

I walk through life with a humble yet daring approach.
I give, do not expect anything back (but somehow always seem to get a lot back).
I make sure I often get out of my comfort zone.
I just have a innate lust for life so I guess it's beyond philosophy.

Music, Movies, and Books

If it's indie or somewhat twisted, chances are I'll like it. And old classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Perhaps not that incredible but today, as I was visiting NY, if I checked out one of the itinirary Paul Auster describes in City of Glass. Took me 4 hours. Was worth every second.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you French (my native tongue). Feed me beer and after three pints, I'll teach you the bad words. :)
If there's a piano in the room, I can teach you the basis of blues playing. (Most of everything I was able to play in life came from that original lesson someone once gave me).
Proofreading and text editing principles (my job).
//
I'm a VERY curious person.
You most definitely have someting to teach me.
