About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To work, learn, grow.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of a different person than most. Intelligent, inquisitive, I LOVE to learn about almost anything. I like to get to know people, all kinds thereof. I'm the kind of guy who talks to people on buses and other public places, rather than remaining silent and missing out on countless great opportunities. I keep an interesting and quite varied circle of friends here at home.

I tend to think a lot and ponder the great questions, seeking to figure out the meaning of life, or at least the meaning of my own life, as that would be sufficient for me. In the meantime though, I'm more or less content just living my life to the fullest as it pains me to see people who do not.

I'm rather difficult for myself to describe, so the best way to learn more about me is to jump right in and join me for a tea somewhere!

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love life, be tolerant of others and try not to exclude them when possible, don't attach one's happiness to anything, become comfortable in all situations, be adaptable like water, enjoy the ride!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the suggestion of one of my couchsurfing hosts from Moscow, I hitch-hiked from Moscow to Vladimir. Quite the endurance test. I eventually reached it, though the getting there was rather interesting.

Taking a Turkish bus from Ezurum to Hopa near the Georgian border was pretty wild as well. White-knuckle speed with the bus kind of swerving while going 40km/h over the speed limit.
