About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current mission is to travel the world and make that my profession i.e. to make money traveling this world

ABOUT ME

Still exploring myself. I guess knowing oneself is the most challenging thing to do... :)
I love travelling and would love to continue with my zest to go to more and more places.
When i visit a new place i love to know the locals,make friends, live with them, eat the local food, know about their culture. That's who i am... !!!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too ironic to fully understand. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence & absence to value presence.

--This is not like my personal. I read it somewhere but i really believe in it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen:
Eiffel Tower - Paris
The Colloseum - Rome

Got mugged on Pigalle Street, Paris at 11 in the night, well ALMOST. I was carrying only 5 Euros and nothing else, no wallet, no phone ha ha. The muggers were dissapointed. It was fun ;-)

Got drenched in Champagne on the new years eve near The Colloseum, Rome. Champagne bath was sticky but fun. :)

Rode all alone over the Eismeer, (Glaciers on Mt. Titlis Switzerland), in an open trolley. Had i fallen down i would have been dead meat but it was amazing exp.

Tried hot wine once in Paris :) I had tasted hot wine first time in my life.

Seen Yi Peng festival in Chaing Mai. It is once in a lifetime experience.

Motorbiked on top of Pang Ma Pha, the highest mountain of Mae Hong Son province in Thailand.
