ABOUT ME

Addicted to travelling, always in need of knowing or doing something new/different, and looking forward to learn about and enjoy life in as many perspectives as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Always say and do what you think is right; people who sometimes misunderstand you will eventually come around once they get the pattern.
Always be thankful for other people's kindness, and always pay it forward.
Live life as if you were looking at it from the standpoint of one who is questioning the purpose of one's entire life: "did I have the right priorities in life, and chase the right dreams?","when I was unfair to others, did I try to swallow my pride and make things right?","was I always agreeable to those around me whenever I could?"
