About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Europe within 2009

ABOUT ME

I'm addicted to European cultures. I love hanging out in Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona and many more nice places in Europe...I can't really choose the one!

Personally, I'm funny, talkative, pretty laid-back, easy going. My hobbies except traveling are exercise, cooking, watching movie, listening to music, learning language and etc. Currently I go to the gym almost everyday and run 10-12km. This is my daily life.

I work as system administrator, specialist for SAP although I have bachelor degree in tourism...!

About my travel.
I travel a lot. I usually go to Europe twice a year. I don't usually do sightseeing that much. I enjoy seeing people, cultures, traditions, architects, food and so on.
Europe itself is not big. But there are a lot of countries and each countries have originality. I really love to know those :)

Nowadays, I'm planning to move to Europe...haven't decided where I will be but probably UK.

PHILOSOPHY

I can feel happiness because I can feel unhappiness.
People can't avoide to be hurted and hurt someone each other.
Don't be afraid...!
