Hi there! I'm a Canadian guy, I love to journal, read, take pictures, and cook (vegan) food. I am fascinated by different cultures and I have a special interest in philosophy (as well as ancient history, comparative religions, and psychology.)
I have a degree in philosophy and I am currently studying social work.
I am currently learning German, Attic Greek (the dialect Plato spoke), and Portuguese. but I have a lot of interests in other languages, too!
I speak both English and French though my English is far better though I technically learned both at the same time growing up!
I am trying to read more books this year! currently I am focusing on a companion to the Mahabharata, Brothers Karamazov, among others. (it's hard for me to choose just one book.)
I used to have an older account as well however I no longer have access to it. If your recognise me, shoot me a message I'd love to talk again!
Requests
Just be kind, I don't mind if we don't like the same things. That's okay. Sometimes it's even interesting to learn about someone very different from myself! But I don't tolerate someone who is purposefully rude.
Maybe we can send letters or do a language exchange?
Language Exchange Requests
I can help with English or French :) I am mostly looking to practise German with others though I am interested in spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese to name a few.
Hobbies & Interests
Though I no doubt love my fair share of videogames and board games, I am also really interested in talking about meaning. Whether that be through philosophy, or our life experiences, those are things I really enjoy.
I am vegan and I love to cook as well. :)
I'm also really into taking pictures and writing in my journal. I've been writing in them since I was 17 years old!
Favorite Music
I love a lot of different genres. But my favourites of all time might be the Weakerthans and Linkin Park. Geese/Cameron Winter are very good too.
Favorite Movies
Jesus Christ Superstar (it's a rock opera made by a guy who was agnostic. It's cheesy but I love it so so much.)
Eyes Wide Shut
The Iron Giant
The Seventh Seal
Coraline
Patterson
Little Miss Sunshine
Wild Strawberries
Favorite TV Shows
My favourite show of all time is--hands down--the Twilight Zone. It not only has sentimental value to me (I watch it with my grandma.) but I also think the story telling was incredibly progressive, truly artistic, and amazing even today, but especially during its time. I'm a huge fan.
My other favourite show is Avatar the Last Airbender, I think it'd amazing work of art. It's a kids show. But the writing is really solid, and has really amazing story telling.
Breaking Bad is also one of my favorites. It's a really interesting show with a very.... Questionable fanbase.
Favorite Books
Phenomenology of Spirit, Thus Spake Zarathustra, Man and his Symbols, Jurassic Park, Plato's works, The Ethics by Spinoza, The Baghavad Gita, The Upanishads, The Gathas... so many!
