About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Drift, seek purpose

ABOUT ME

I try hard to be a nice guy. I'm pretty laid back about almost everything, but I'm a stickler on my principles.

PHILOSOPHY

without going into isms... I believe we live in an objective, shared universe, which exists whatever we believe about it, but I also belive in things like morality and love which only exist because we believe in them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I advocate couchsurf to all the good people I meet. Looking forward to hosting people when i get my own place again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

stayed with other people in Korea and Egypt. Haven't had the chance to host yet!

Interests

Talking with friends, watching movies, listening to music. I like martial arts, diving and generally enjoy adrenaline in a modest way. I like to use my mind too - I play Go a little and enjoy puzzles.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything which can make me think or feel something. I love Tasogare Seibei, Amelie, Gladiator, Waking Life... all sorts. I also love old-school kung fu flicks.

I read less than I did when I was younger - back then I used to read Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Artuo Perez-Reverte, Haruki Murakami. Nowadays I mostly read non-fiction, largely pop-science and philosophical stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Conservation volunteering in Fiji, Australia and central America.

Teach, Learn, Share

Pretty handy with computer stuff, especially Photoshop.
Have an english teaching certificate (Trinity). Can play guitar a little. Can pilot a small boat (RYA L2 powerboat) and I'm a PADI divemaster.
