About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find my way, make friends, live forever

ABOUT ME

Love to travel and meet people from all around the world... That's what makes my life exciting and worth living. I don't give much importance to career and value relationships more than anything else.

I tend to see the best in every person and consider myself optimistic, honest, laid back, open minded and considerate.

PHILOSOPHY

live life to the maximum and enjoy every second of it,
make a difference in people's life when possible and support my friends every time I can
