CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better world; searching for my calling in life

ABOUT ME

Inquisitive: always wanting to learn more

I try my best to avoid hostel-hopping and city-hopping (rushing from one hostel/city to another without experiencing the local way of life) as I would not have any interaction with the locals at all. I would not really want to visit a country without learning anything about the culture and life.

I am very easy-going and flexible. I do not smoke, do not drink beer, and do not take drugs.

PHILOSOPHY

Still searching for my purpose and meaning in life.

Give and make the world a better place, without expecting anything in return.

Impossible is nothing: just because you have not found a way to do something does not mean that it can never be done; you just need more time.
