About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." – Mahatma Gandhi

ABOUT ME

I'm currently working as a software developer/consultant and implementing IT projects in the biggest companies of the country. let's not talk about work, i am not saving the world anyway :) In my free times, I like traveling as much as i can. Honestly I can't travel enough but still doing fine.. I take my motorbike and backpack, then i ride it wherever the road takes me. Mostly i like to get out of the city, get away from the crowd and noise, enjoy the nature, do tent camping and sometimes discover new places that i have never been.

I love to meet new people from different nationalities, religions or cultures. I also like discussing up-to-date topics with them.

for more information about me, please refer to facebook.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes you give sometimes you get.And when you more give, you more get!! Since we're all living in the same small planet, what else do we have but sharing? as simple as sharing the air we breath...
