About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel as much of the world as possible, while working and in my off-time

ABOUT ME

Proud to be a nomad, have been moving around ever since I was born. Disliked not having roots as a kid, but now I wouldn't have it any other way. Current job has me travelling to a different place around the world every 4-6 months; I love it.

I like collecting memories and friends over "stuff" to commemorate my journeys. Enjoy talking politics, philosophy, history and culture - journalism is my career - in a mature manner. Always looking to find common ground or understanding with everyone I come across. Discourse over discord is my motto.

PHILOSOPHY

Just letting people alone to be themselves. definitely not a busybody. I'm all about self-determination. We all have our own opinions about how one should live their life, but everyone's journey is their own.

Teach, Learn, Share
