About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the biotech startup life in London

ABOUT ME

I am an aestethic voyager who traveled solo through the realm of China, central asia and europe using my bicycle as the only mean of transportation. I am a risk taker and love the thrill of fulfilling my dreams in one way or another.
My first big dream was to study at an international school, which I did from 9-12 grade. Another of my big goals was to help others, so I co-founded a charity called BRAP (Burmese Refugee Assistance Programme) that I worked with for 2 years. I went on two field trips to the Thai jungle with this charity and I am still involved with it. Even though I helped out, I just realised how much more there is to be done, so I will continue to work with charity in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a slightly painful massage technique that has been used to cure several diseases such as sclerosis, bone damage, general injuries, back problems, tendon pain etc. It is based on the circulation of energy throughout the body system, the principle known as qi in romanized chinese or chi in English. I can teach you if you let me stay at your couch, and I can give you a massage that will leave you relaxed and relieve you of pain.
