About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm completely new to CS. I hope to gain some traveling experience as a surfer in the future, so I decided to establish myself as a host in the mean time.

I would like to think that my friends would describe as a very cool, honest and trustworthy person who gets on very well with everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

I am cognisant of the privileged position I hold in terms of inhabiting a region of the planet which is relatively wealthy in terms of societal well-being, economic standing, civil rights, education and so on. Recognition of these facts should instill every person of such a background with a sense of moral duty to help others in need of assistance. This spectrum of duty ranges from contributing aid to those in famine or war-torn countries, to doing something as simple as offering shelter to those who are pursuing their own journeys of enlightenment and personal development through travel experience and social relations. That is essentially what makes life engaging for me, i.e. living an ethical life.

Therefore I spend my time trying to become increasingly healthy and more educated. This is achieved by living a lifestyle which regularly involves fitness, reading, socialising with friends (or indeed strangers) and, of course, travel.

Lastly, for any philosophy scholars out there I would classify myself as a preference utilitarian and moral realist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me, any moment that gives you a profound sense of connection with nature and the cosmos is an amazing thing to experience. Most people have probably experienced this at least a few times. Whether this is experienced by swimming with dolphins or even just watching a shooting star in a clear night-sky, these are the awe-inspiring, amazing moments that I enjoy seeing.
