CURRENT MISSION I only hope to be able to go backpacking atleast once a year. That's not very tough right, Darren? ABOUT ME I grew up in a small town, where people are usually at their simplest mind. It's a place unlike those urban cities where people tend to be (I dont mean all) a little bit self-concerned and competitive. Uptown people tend to be more warmth, helpful, and like staying close with people so I think I'm more or less having these characteristics. I'm a very open person, and like people to be honest. I really like helping people, and enjoy the feeling of being able to help. I am a buddhist, but I believe on the teachings more than practising it... fyi I'm also not a religion fanatic :) because I believe religion is to provide guidances in life, and helping people to stay hopeful. It's important but there shouldnt be any argument about it because everyone deserves his/her own belief. I like travelling. I admit that I used to be the typical tourist - doing nothing more than snapping pictures and go. Kinda lame isnt it? I'm trying to do a little bit more now, being in part of the culture I'm exposed to while travelling, mixing in between local people and sometimes living with them. Isnt it what couchsurfing is for? PHILOSOPHY Equality, freedom/personal rights, and respect.
