About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to visit all my neighbouring countries before the end of 2012

ABOUT ME

I'm a student at the NWU Potchefstroom campus, currently studying Economics and International Trade

I am a venture-entrepreneur, rouge economist at heart and have an unsatisfying taste for travel. I love to read and do research on developing countries and explore potential trade opportunities. I don't travel just explore around. I have an academic interest in the countries I visit and I love to do so research on every trip I do!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in creating your own fate. We all have to make choices in life and those choices will lead you to your destination...
I Live life spontaneously,I cherish random moments and enjoy the simplest moments. I believe that the only constant in life is change!And that Knowledge Directs Love
