About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel around the world and take portraits for underprivileged children to raise awareness about their situation and hopefully be able to raise some funds for them to get an education and get a chance to change their destinies.

ABOUT ME

I can be a realist and a dreamer at the same time. I love travelling and photography, meeting new people and learning new languages.

I enjoy the simplicity of life's wonders and lying on empty fields watching the clouds go by is my ideal de-stressing method though that almost never happens.

Having said all that, cooking and exploring new recipes is also what I love to do when I'm at home and sometimes, a good book is more than enough to keep em contented.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to eat of course.
But then again, if I can make a difference in somebody's life by helping them irregardless how small the task is, why not?
