About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the whole world, meet new people, taste new food and learn new cultures.

ABOUT ME

I am known to be an impulsive decision maker and my latest impulsive decision was to quit my job to travel the world. I am ready for new things and quite open minded. I feel that things deserved to be tried first before judging them. I also feel that borders shouldn't exist!

PHILOSOPHY

I can be quite philosophical when I am high. Latest of it was this "Money has complicated matters beyond imagination. Like all man-made fictions, e.g. borders, it restricts our ambitions, abilities and success. It has made our mindset narrower than it was meant to be and our life's definition has become earning money". To change this, or try to change it, I quit my job and decided to experience the world my way.
