A mixed bag of contradictions: I love traveling but hate tourist destinations. I get along with everybody but I'm very picky who I share my life with. I think Gaudi was a genius but I hope the yellow cranes never leave Sagrada Familia. I'm addicted to caffeinated sodas but never drink Coke. Sometimes I spend weekends backpacking in the mountains but visit Michelin places on the way home. My favorite movies are witty film noir but the shallowest chick flicks make me cry. The invisible pink unicorn lives under my bed but my only pet is the Schrodinger's cat. I took part in the Saffron Revolution but I hope freedom to them doesn't mean 7-eleven in every corner. Watching the water rushing through Tiger Leaping Gorge gives me goose bumps but so does someone touching my forearm. I'm an adrenaline junkie but my diet could use a bit more endorphins. I try everything once but I disagree with OKC that kinky is my fourth strongest personality trait.

Exploring anything from places, flavors and aesthetics to the limits of human mind and body.

I seem to have a talent for solving complex problems that I utilize to earn my living and also a talent for anything physical that I utilize to entertain myself when not working.

I probably should, but I don't care enough to know.

My netflix queue is full of documentaries, foreign and indie movies. I feel my own life is more interesting than any TV show and if that ever changes then I'll get a TV. I listen to books on tape when commuting, mostly non-fiction. If they allowed more letters my OKC ID would be ShineOnUCrazyDiamond from one of my favorite albums.

Chocolate. My trad rack. My passports. Wood burning saunas. Full-bodied reds. My splitboard (winter)/full suspension (summer), Pellegrino's top 50, 10% O2 mix at 500mbar.

What I'm going to do when I grow up?

..on my way somewhere or watching a movie at home.

Sex on the beach in some parts of the world can lead to a little bit more handcuffs and uniforms than one bargains for.

...you dream about or have watched the stars in a hot spring after skiing pow down from a 14er.

Or, you are interesting and energetic. You don't have to google what argumentum ad ignorantiam is and carpe diem is your every day. Sometimes you get close to your VO2max and maybe "hydrate" afterwards with a nice glass of wine.

Or, you are a climber.
