CURRENT MISSION

Addicted to Local Culture

ABOUT ME

Just an Earth Citizen, curious about the world, cultures and local socities. Eager to learn how is life in other places. Fond of cultural exchange. Hungry to learn anything new. My three musketeers: Music, Movie, Sport...

PHILOSOPHY

Why? Why not? So cliche...

If I get into philosophy, final destination is madness for me. So staying away.
