About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make the world a safer and happier place for everyone

ABOUT ME

We love to travel, understand other culture and explore other places. We love the beach and the castles. I collect cute tiny elephants while my husband (Joseph) collects shot glasses. We like nature walks, but my daughter (Gian) prefers malling, hehehe.

I have worked with universities and research institutes. Joseph works on a retail store. I am in my mini-retirement and self-appointed in-charge of our global exploration project(wink, wink!).

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness starts within ourselves. Help everyone in each and every chance we have. Smile to everyone, that's the least we can do...
