My current mission is to explore the world and learn from others.

ABOUT ME

I love socialising! Put me in a room with another person, and I'll make them my friend.

I read when I can, and move about from place to place in search of new and exciting experiences.

I've been placed in some scary situations, e.g. Great Eastern Japan earthquake, but have somehow always managed to pull through.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
