About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live life to the fullest !

ABOUT ME

I love making friends all over the world, having worked in many countries including UK, Brunei, China and Thailand.

After working for more than 10 years in the travel industry, I quit my job in February 2011 to take one year off to travel around the world and learn some new languages. I have just spent the last 6 months in South America and visited Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina. I'm very fortunate to have met up with so many friendly couchsurfers in these countries.

If you also like travel photography, i like to invite you to visit my travel photos at http://www.danieltan.net/travel.htm

PHILOSOPHY

Here's my favorite quote to remind me to always live life to the fullest... hope it inspires you as well :
“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming – “WOW – What a Ride!”
