About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to get as involved as possible in the field of human rights

ABOUT ME

I have a passion for politics and human rights, and anything involving travel. I have travelled to over 50 countries, mostly while researching or working for numerous human rights organisations, government bodies, UN consults and private international organisations that work on international dveelopment and lobbying. I love peace, equality, adventures, and fine wines, ales and food.

PHILOSOPHY

The more you live, the less you die

"Some people see things as they are and ask why?
I see things as they never were and ask why not?"
- Senator John F. Kennedy Jr.

"Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. You need to take up the challenges that we face as a nation and make them your own. Not because you have a debt to those who helped you get here, although you do have that debt. Not because you have an obligation to those who are less fortunate than you, although I do think you do have that obligation. It's primarily because you have an obligation to yourself. Because individual salvation has always depended on collective salvation. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential."
-Barack Obama

Interests

I love house music, international affairs, traveling to uncharted territories, and sharing adventures with kindred spirits and other like-minded individuals.
