About Me

I love travelling and meeting new like-minded people. Lately my travel were mostly around Melbourne. I've lived in Victoria for 2+ years, and there are still so many places to explore here. I love outdoor (especially) water sports, but at times, I play a gym junkie instead. My 4 year old son is super excited to go camping and I try to go camping often. I'm really happy that he inherited this from us and I can continue exploring the world with him.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe a man should live a simple life. Expensive cars, spacious apartments and glamorous cosmetics are all artificial to the nature of man and carry no value. Living frugally not only save lots of money, allowing to work less, but also helps to reduce our impact on that beautiful planet.

My favorite quotations:
"Happines is only real when shared" - "Into the Wild"
"Everything is figureoutable" - Marie Forleo
"If you don't live your dreams - you live your fears"
