About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a better person everyday

ABOUT ME

Just like everybody on this site, I love traveling. I love the rush of new faces and new places. I get to travel every now and again in the Asia Pacific region for work, but mostly, I am settled down in Bangkok for time being.

PHILOSOPHY

Someone else has always voiced my personal philosophy better than myself:

"Be the Change you wish to see in the World"

“Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombings or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts.” - Ron Paul
