CURRENT MISSION

Revel in every moment!

ABOUT ME

Me as a person:
==========

I am a friendly, outdoorsy kind of person who loves and cherishes his friends and family. At the same time I also am someone who values his and others' personal space and knows to take and give space and freedom.

I enjoy exploring anything and everything that life offers and try to learn and revel in every moment. I enjoy being with people of wit and sense of humor.

I love traveling and exploring places and appreciate the ethos and culture of the places that I have the good fortune of being in. And of course I am always enthused to try new cuisines and experience the gastronomic delights/specialties from everywhere :-)

I have been brought up in a modern, liberal environment with a massive respect for personal choice, trust, education, independence and encouragement to explore oneself in all one's dimensions.
