CURRENT MISSION

To meet different people of the WORLD, to learn different CULTURES, to experience our WORLD'S WONDERS. To share its BLESSINGS!

ABOUT ME

I am a self confessed lover of a worthy travel.
I love traveling. It gives me sort of compensation.
I love discovering new places of interests and share it with friends.
I am known to be a Son of Beach. I love all about Beaches.
I believe “Life is a Beach”, so does mine!
I love the sand, the waves, and the ocean. The have significance in my life.
I am so fascinated with nature – the mountains, the hills, the canyons and the waterfalls.
I love outdoors. I hate dull moments. I abhor boredom.
I am for anything in anywhere at anytime – as long as I can take it.
I am a lover great conversation. I even crave for it.
I am a free spirited type of a guy. No hang-ups.
I am very easy to deal with.
I can laugh at the lowest joke and can even cry at the one’s dismay.
I am a voracious learner. I learn from my mistakes and from others.
I believe I’m a true friend – they say I’m the friendliest guy around. I say, it’s true.
I love great company of great friends.
I am never judgmental. I just know how to discern wisely.
I am good, almost better – never been “the best”! I don’t even wish to be one.
I am self made man. Survived many adversities and triumphed many obstacles.
I am the pillar of my family. I have so much respect for those bread winners. They truly are winners!
I am a firm optimist even when surrounded by an army of pessimists.
I savor my triumphs. I grieve on my defeats. That is how I see life – feeling and living to its fullest.
SO here I am, loving, learning and living life to the fullest.

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

They say traveling alone is BORING. I use to believe that not until i travel to different places, see different things and experience different cultures, ALONE BY MYSELF. I realize there is fun and excitement in traveling alone.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a self made man. I guess, its something that i can teach and share with to other people. I say, i have come from the scratch but made my way to the top. Determined yet kind. I guess these among others are thing that i could share. Most of all, I believe that i need to learn more because I know for a fact that life is all about learning, living and sharing.
