About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"To live in the present, and let the highest future unfold for itself" "To leave every place and person, better than it / they were when we first met"

ABOUT ME

I'm NEVER a believer that a tiny box like this, or a few sentences here and there will do justice to describe someone. For me words are merely labels that are trying it's very best to describe us, but obviously very restrictive experientially. However, I will attempt to describe ASPECTS of myself in a few words,

I'm open-minded, care-free, fast-learner, and adventurous. I love traveling, the outdoors, and trying out new experiences. I'm adaptable, and I love getting to know various languages, and also cultures.

I get along well with people who have a positive outlook in life who loves laughing, loving, playing, and growing at the same time.

I love taking photographs, as it's a great way stimulating creativity. I also appreciate good music, art, and books. As I'm an all-rounder, and all-embracing, I enjoy music ranging from New Age to Rock & Roll. I love the works of Dali which is surreal and out-of-the-box. I read the works of Paulo Coelho, and his works have largely influenced my perspective in life.

As a hobby, and personal interest, I also conduct classes, I conduct Metaphysical classes on spare time teaching people personal empowerment, and how to heal, and restore their well-being.

I love meeting new people, and I embrace people of all ages.

I would love to meet you, if you feel we could click!

PHILOSOPHY

There are no answers to the meaning of life. So enjoy living your questions! He who avoids risks in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future" - Paulo Coelho

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”- Mark Twain

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. - HH The Dalai Lama
