Nature and trees make me smile. And dragonflies, too! I am easily infuriated by people whose actions show blithe disregard of the environment.

I don't necessarily follow traditions and superstitions. I tear down taboos. My decisions are influenced by anything that's rational, ethical, and practical.

I love traveling alone. It's cathartic when i get to talk to strangers I'm sitting beside with in an airplane, bus, or train.

I am straightforward and always encourage authenticity, sincerity, and frankness within my network of friends.

My favorite billionaire is Elon Musk.

War-themed movies make me cry.

I'm good at directions. Thanks to my male genetic composition. There's a certain kind of happiness i feel everytime i explore Google maps.

I have long since deleted my bucket list. I'd rather live spontaneously and even travel randomly. Life is better and sweeter when you meet surprises along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I once thought I would never learn swimming after drowning on a hotel's pool in 2007. But I proved myself wrong after a friend invited me to join swimming lessons in 2013. Stories about overcoming fears are special to me.
