Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel, Experience, Learn, Share. I am a forever learner and teacher. Save the world, one person at a time!
I am a passionate doctoral researcher/data scientist in the field of management and enterprise studying the effects of innovation and business models on corporate sustainability performance for a prosperous society.
ABOUT ME
Retired Businessman;
Tour Guide Extraordinaire;
Master Illusionist - Magic Max;
I have hosted and been hosted by many more not shown on the map here as I have been in the global nomadic community for decades and many hosts/guest come to me outside of CS (I am a CS pioneer).
Come and experience the magic: I am very open minded, adventurous, easy going and an avid learner and mentor. I am passionate about life and achievements, love traveling and enjoy meeting people and sharing experiences!
Been traveling across continents and living in various parts of the world ever since I was 5 years old. If ever we are in the same area, hit me up! Travel is my work, my pastime, my passion, MY LIFE!
I am an Entrepreneur who enjoy the most traveling, learning and sharing my knowledge with others. When I am not traveling or building successful businesses, then you will find me teaching English, Business or related topics or studying.
I have spent the last ten years traveling full time and when traveling I visit more than two countries on a month on average. I have also lived full time in several countries whereby I have traveled the full expanse of those places.
I am funny, talkative and kind and right now aspire to spend time in South America as well as visit Russia, Morocco, Spain and Ukraine someday soon!
PHILOSOPHY
I am health conscious, do not drink nor smoke nor do drugs ever! I do not gamble, am open minded and lead a very fun, happy, outgoing life! Always interested in adventure and to explore new places and new cultures.
Live everyday to the fullest!
