About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my mission is to go through life always giving love and making the best of everything.

ABOUT ME

I love travelling like everyone else on here :) I set up Freedom from Poverty which means I have a job travelling to different countries and working to alleviate the worst cases of poverty for those living on or under the poverty line. Ive lived in China for a year, travelled around Thailand, malaysia, Vietnam, hong Kong, Macau, Cuba, Pakistan, Africa, India and Singapore. Ive also travelled around Europe and love Sweden and Finland sooo much! :)Ive done community projects in west Africa where I set up and manage the WSF charity which is now part of Freedom from POverty. I did a masters in humanitarian studies and Im currently in Bahrain where I work as a Science teacher.

Im interested in many things, sociology, politics, science, human rights, humanitarianism and how people and the world work. I hate the the state of some countries in the world, but believe there is good to correct some of the damage and we should never give up when trying to make things better.
I love dancing, im an Arabic dancer, Bollywood dancer and a ballet dancer,reading, sports, running, being outside, food, mountain climbing and trekking and SNOW. I'm organised, and motivated. I'm a believer in God, something important to me.I like food. I eat too much :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is sometimes dependent on your attitude and outlook, so I believe it is essential to keep on looking at the positives in your life,even though we all expereince bad things.
I think you will be more happy helping people and being unselfish than if you own an abundance of material wealth
