About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the World !! And, Find Myself !!

ABOUT ME

I studied Economics in USA, gained a lot of knowledge and visited about 40 states (10 to go) in my holidays. I'm an easy-going person, I find joy in little things; like having coffee with friends around a table or playing board games (and much more). I love movies, I enjoy reading books. I played rugby at my university team. European football is fun to watch and play. Karate Yellow-Belt holder. I'm always down for travelling and continuously curious about cultures and languages. I have a good experince riding motorcycles and I wish I can do something similar to Ewan McGregor's Long Way Round road-trip.

PHILOSOPHY

Let the world change you... and you can change the world.

I truly believe that laughter is the best medecine, keep a positive outlook on life and I'm positive that positive stuff will happen.
