Personal Description

Sometimes shy around new people, extremely comfortable among friends. Meeting new people fascinates me...I'm an anti-thrill-seeker who puts himself in situations that push me past my fears; if my gut says I'm too scared, but my brain knows it's safe, I ignore the gut.

Interests

people, other cultures, music (listening only), dancing, partying, meeting my friends, photography, good meals, eating, doing nothing, swimming in the sea, traveling, reading, communication, sleeping and watching movies

Philosophy

Take it nice and slowly - walk like you would be dancing...

Music, Movies, Books

U2, Pearl Jam and Creed

Types of People I enjoy

people who are interested in others, the world they live in, changings, who are able to talk, but also capable of saying nothing when its not necessary.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

swimming in the almost freezing lake at Geneva hahaah :)
