About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live truthfully and have fun on the way

ABOUT ME

I'm a 30 year old guy who likes to travel and meet new people. I'm liberal and person who looks for positive people to share time with.
I have a break from the busy life of London for one week and I look forward to meeting people, sharing their time and finding a little more about France.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that life is about how you perceive. The thoughts and the emotions in your head are the most important things humans can control. Being able to properly translate the things that go on around me means I can ultimately reach true happiness, regardless of anything that happens around me, good or bad.
Confidence in the 'way' life is and myself mean that I don't have false beliefs but a real and accurate understanding of what i can and can't do.
I'm only one man and I believe that expressing myself positively in every action is the best thing i can do to help this confused world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the stars fall down on the most beautiful Siberian night. Thousands of shooting stars from the top of the sky to the horizon.

Teach, Learn, Share

Apart from good fun and a good conversation (English mainly) I have a good brain and like to ask questions and find answers, physically, mentally and spiritually. I enjoy a good philosophical debate and love to listen to the view points of others and see different perspectives.
