CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world to attain a more wellrounded understanding of my own life

ABOUT ME

I'm a thoughtful, reasonably intelligent guy who enjoys adventure and is willing to break through walls for unique experiences when i'm in travelling-mode. Back home, I tend to focus on my own perpetual evolution whilst nurturing relationships with the people that i truly care about. I like to read. 8-)

PHILOSOPHY

travel: I travel equipped with an insatiable curiosity, keen to explore the world. Doing the same arduous 9 to 5 job every day to return to the same TV shows every evening with the same goals as all of ones neighbours is not my idea of a life well lived. To live one day over and over again is to deny ones self the hidden joys of human existance. I want to experience everything that this tremendous world has to offer.

metaphysics: life is a perpetually developing canvas. My actions and the meaning that I imbue my world with are the brush strokes that will determine the quality of the piece.

ethics: Whether i exist in this form or not, I may as well satisfy the needs that I experience. Meaning and fulfilment comes best from engaging with those things external to ones self. Hence, I seek to create hapiness in those around me to satisfy my desire for the fulfilment of a higher purpose.

Im tempted to include eight or so more paragraphs here but I think i'll leave it at that. The bottom line is that I like to think and learn from others and develop my own views as often as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spend most of 2008 travelling around south east asia and the middle east. I have countless stories to tell but text boxes aren't the right medium. I run a youth movement with over 400 members. That led to some pretty amazing experiences...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a pretty strong knowledge and some unique opinions in most realms of philosophy. I love playing most sports so if you need an extra man on the field then count me in. I can teach a few guitar chords and the pentatonic scale. Most importantly, I can teach calculus at a university level.

In terms of learning, I find way too many things fascinating. My interests range from drawing, music, most acedemic spheres and how best to live ones life. I guess the bottom line is that I want to experience different lifestyles to shed incite on my own routines.
