About Me

Freethinker, Entrepreneur, Adventurer, AIESECer, Animal Rights Activist, Dreamer, Non-materialistic, Couchsurfer, Hitchhiker, Yoga enthusiast

If I could make everyone in the world watch one TED talk, I would make them watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0VrZPBskpg

A few years back I came across a movie called Earthlings which changed my life forever! Watch it for free here: www.nationearth.com

I am passionate about animal rights and finding solutions to issues that mankind faces. I enjoy dancing and partying! I am mostly agnostic, but Jainism and Buddhism inspire me a lot.

PHILOSOPHY
Don't ever let somebody tell you that you can't do something. You gotta dream, you gotta protect it. Period! - Chris Gardner
