About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore South East Asia

ABOUT ME

I've been thinking of what to put here and i guess i finally figured it out. It's how i see the world around me and how i fit in.

And when i think about it i realize that there are couple things that are really important to me. Of which passion is the most important. That's what makes people interesting, wonderful and fun to be around.

I love people that don't take thing that don't matter too seriously. I love people who are open, ready to explore, who listen and understand.

When I meet people I love to listen, i alway want to find new perspectives of things, new ways of thinking. I hope I can contribute too. But don't get me wrong, we can go clubbing too!

As for myself, i really like technology, that's the first thing that comes to mind. Good food, coffee is also something I look forward too as I travel.

I have a random set of skills: I can ski, dive, play soccer and table tennis :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life scatters people into the four winds, so be good to them while they are around.
