About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and immerse myself in different cultures

ABOUT ME

I see myself as easy going and spontaneous. I would say I am very considerate and patient. I always try to make sense out of things, I don't overanalyse though. In gatherings, I normally come off as shy but in reality, I do enjoy people's company. I just need to warm up before I get talkative. ;) My friends say I am very friendly and easy to be with. I love chatting, from intellectual conversations to just having fun and bantering.

I try to travel when I get a chance as way of relaxation and to widen my understanding. Definitely, I am food lover; I believe that the culture of each place is reflected on their local dishes.
