About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Exploring cultures, people and networking

ABOUT ME
I am a very adventurous person, i love traveling and enjoying nature. My job gets me on the road a lot and i get to meet different people from very diverse backgrounds. I love this and it has made me very respectful of diversity and new cultures.
I am a happy person and believe happiness is key to personal fulfillment.

I love sports very much- sorry i rephrase, i am addicted to sports. I am a first division basketball player and a certified junior basketball coach. Out of the many little medals and tiny cups i have at home, I am proud to have won the Eastern Central and Southern Africa Club Championships with Vijana Basketball Club in 2001.

I equally enjoy watching football and playing once in a while. I am a big time Manchester United fan.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever you do, make sure it makes you happy, if it does not then you don't belong there...Terms and conditions apply
