About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Update 2015: SORRY! This profile is awefully outdated and I promise i'll update it as soon as i can!!

----------------------

Overall I'm pretty easy-going and laid-back. Most of the time I'm open for anything. Often I just go with the flow and see where it takes me. I might not be the most talkative person but I tend to get along with a lot of people. I try not to judge people and try not to be all materialistic about things. Though I do treasure some of my valuables.

I'm about to travel around the world in november this year (2011). I'll be starting my trip in South-America (Rio de Janeiro) and will be ending my trip in South East Asia.

You can see my full itinerary and travel route on my blog (www.asianbackpacker.com). If you happen to be traveling the same route or in the same area, feel free to drop me a message!

I hope to meet a lot of fellow travelers and interesting people to share exciting stories with. And who knows we might travel together to some of these incredible places that mother earth gave birth to!

PHILOSOPHY

- Gotta try everything at least once.
- Regret doing something rather than regret not doing it.
- Live your life the way you want to, don't let other people tell you otherwise.
