CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Learner, Dreamer, Traveller, Believer.

I am very passionate about human rights, indigenous peoples rights, minority rights, women, gender and sustainable development.I have been very active in inter-religious dialogue, interfaith education, and freedom of religion and I love learning from all the faiths and religions of the world, including to those who do not believed in them. Travelling for me is the best education so I made it a lifetime mission.

PHILOSOPHY

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
