Background
Samir has also had a brief background training in boxing, Tae Kwon Do, and Hatha Yoga, prior to choosing the path of least resistance: Dao Lu. Samir adopted the Taoist philosophy because of its harmony with nature and life. In 2016 he became a vegan.
Samir has lived in Nigeria and Spain, before settling in the Netherlands. He holds degrees in Mathematical Sciences and in English and Literature. When not teaching or training, he will most likely have his head buried in a book.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
–Haruki Murakami
