A social entrepreneur from Myanmar running a social enterprise I founded 13 years ago helping food producers and farmers with technical solutions. I live alone in Yangon and devoting most of my time on the causes I care about. Jazz enthusiast, amateur golfer and TEDx speaker living contentedly with 3 cats in Yangon.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to seek perspectives of different human beings from different communities with different groupthink, rituals (call it culture or otherwise) while they have different resources and opportunities endowed.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Bob James, Chet Baker, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Chris Botti, Bille Joel, Cool and The Gang, The Beatles, Damien Rice; Earth, Wind and Fire are some of them.

Normally I balance my life between Jazz and Classical. When I feel too chaotic, I listen to classicals to give me a bit of order/structure. When I feel too ordered, I listen to Jazz to make me a little fluid and spontaneous. Anything else in between is bonus.

Movies: Any thought-provoking movies and documentaries

Books: I’ll let you have a look at my Kindle let you comment if we happen to meet

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Led a college football team to win back to back championship in Singapore.

Met 3 Nobel Laureates. One of them is POTUS and the other one, perplexed by my existentialist question, is a NASA astrophysicist/cosmologist from James Webb Space Telescope.

教，学，和分享

As an INFJ, I think I have a lot of serious topics to share when I meet with someone I can meaningfully connect.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My experiences of running a social enterprise in one of the least developed countries.

In broader sense, the path how I came to see the (ultimate, not relative) truth, how it sets me free to do more fulfilling things in life other than chasing material wealth. Not surprisingly, I see this trend in many backpacker travelers and I found it really fascinating.
