About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To go around the world and spend time with ordinary people in ordinary environments.

ABOUT ME

I have spend most of my life waiting for things to improve and opportunities to come, what I didn’t realize is that perhaps all those things are just there in front of me, and I didn’t see them or I didn’t have the brave, decision or conditions to accept challenges. I live in America now, but I want to know the world, that is why I’m here at my door step.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is short, live it with passion"
