About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have fun and meet beautiful people whilst exploring this awesome planet of ours.

ABOUT ME

Absolutely love to travel and meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, communities. I am a long distance hiker, always searching for the next place to explore on foot.

Currently career changing from environmental scientist to Paramedic.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to achieve something greater, to not merely dwell in a corporate environment but to experience everything offered and then give something back.
