About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living to inspire, inspires living

ABOUT ME

A chirpy and happy fellow on the lookout for new experiences, people to meet, friends to make, foods to taste and sights to see. Loves to dance and party, but also to sit down and discuss the important things in life.

I sometimes take things a bit too serious, but travelling always resets my mind and reminds me of life's many joys and insights.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to inspire. I'm always looking for new insights, knowledge and emotions. I like to try new things and experiences - for me the only way is forward (although I can be stricken with a sense of melancholy every now and then). And it's from all this, that I try to give back to others, to help them grow and become better.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fantasy and sci-fi afficionado. My musical tastes range from deep house, techno and electronic pop to classical music and many things in between. I love a good party where I can dance all day and night!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something amazing I've done? Haha, oh there certainly is something, but it's a story unbefitting this space.

Ask me in person and maybe I will tell you :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a fairly good designer and project manager by what others tell me, so if you need help with a Photoshop project, plan a project or construct a budget - I can help out.

What I would like to learn... I would like to master the art of mindfulness.
