About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn about the world and people.

ABOUT ME

I am a simple guy and a globe trekker wannabe. The more I travel, the more I realized that everybody is the same beyond the gender, skin colour, age, cultural differences etc... I am a non-smoker, a vegetarian and I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds.

PHILOSOPHY

Do no harm to others or oneself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a Christmas eve at Bethlehem. There was many different people near the church of Nativity (Birth Place of Jesus Christ), Christians, Muslims, Western Tourists, Palestinians, Asians etc... There was a moment when a sky-lantern was lifted into the dark sky, everybody was beaming with joy to see the beautiful ascent of the lantern into the sky. It was a magical moment, as everybody is rejoicing over something so simple. And there was no barrier and separation between people. Only joy. Everybody is the same, and there is so much unnecessary labels of people.
