About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Broaden my perspective by new experiences and people.

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, curious, friendly, adaptable and energetic.

PHILOSOPHY

Time is the only irreplaceable resource.

The only way to stay young is to keep learning and the best way to learn is to do.

I travel not in search of new places but of new ideas.

A journey is best measured in friends and surprises, rather than miles.
