CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I spent most on my life abroad as my parents were expatriates in the Middle East (Irak and Saudi Arabia). I am a scuba diving instructor even though I work in finance (guess I am used to dive with sharks). Am looking for adventure, culture, fun and new people to meet :)

PHILOSOPHY

We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize that there is only one. Confucius
