About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To promote the most amount of happiness for the most number of people!

ABOUT ME

Traveling and meeting people is the centre of my world. From the countries I have visited, I swear, I have learnt more about myself than the total years of formal education!

Three words to describe myself: reflective, colourful and approachable.

PHILOSOPHY

A great question! I believe in re-incarnation and power of positive actions. I don´t view life as a passive process. I tend to live my life by promoting happiness because that way I know can make a small scale difference globally as I find myself in other countries. Life is what you make it and I try to do something I enjoy daily and truly appreciate what I´ve got. I have to admit, it is not THAT easy.

Bottom line really? Think positive and bring it out in others. No one said you can't make those changes!

Interests

I enjoy psychology, philosophy, dance music with a healthy addiction of Linkin Park! I´ve read quite a lot about the power of mind over matter and been to great lengths to promote positive well-being.

I like to learn through experience and that means usually through conversations with people and traveling. I like debates and deep discussions. O...and if you like slapstick comedy then we´ve get on just fine.

Also, I'm attracted to anything thats big and colourful or sparkly. On many occasions, I´ve stopped mid way through many conversations whilst starring in shop windows or someones outfit - doh!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling alone for the first time in 2009 to India was immense and restored my faith in humanity. Italy is a special place and I cannot wait to be there again. I traveled for 5 months in 2012 in South East Asia and it has changed my core outlook in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to make push people into thinking in a differing perspective but people need to be open-minded in order to do so in the first place. I would say my life is a huge journey and I would really like to know what others have experienced in life and what motivates them to go on their daily voyage. With a world of so many individuals, cultures, norms and beliefs - who said we can't learn from each other?
