I have been practicing chinese martial arts (shaolin kung fu) for nearly 7 years. Martial arts is a very large part of my life and has shaped much of how I view the world and my lifestyle. I enjoy historical literature and philosophy texts that challenge my current way of thinking. I am a big gamer and enjoy many genres of video games. I love nature and being in the woods or around the river, and have a soft spot for animals. I am a very relaxed individual who is quite shy and who prefers listening to speaking. I lived in Japan for 21⁄2years but unfortunately didnt make any japanese friends.
