About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” - Martin Buber

ABOUT ME

Anyone can travel anywhere in the world, take pictures, and do the tourist thing. But that's not what travelling is about. In order to truly understand the country you are visiting, you have to grasp the culture, and for that you have to get to know the people.And this is what I'm trying to do, which is just get out of my comfort zone and meet new people from different cultures. As a person, I'm pretty easy going, and I'm up for anything that ends up being a good time. I'm pretty humorous as well; I always love a good joke or story. Career wise, I will probably settle into a career in the oil and gas industry, with perhaps business and investments on the side.

Interests

Asides from traveling, I like learning about the world. So if I'm not learning a new language (Mandarin), I will be watching documentaries on histories, countries, technologies, societies... I enjoy cars, I like working on them, driving them spiritedly, and getting in trouble as a result (well maybe I don't like the last part so much). My future will definitely involve an exotic car of some sort. I enjoy investing in the stock market. I enjoy shopping (for short periods of time). Asides from these things, I like doing regular things like work out, play basketball, watch movies, listen to music, hang out with friends, meet new people, etc.
