CURRENT MISSION

To rid the world of inequality and corruption.... Oh yeah, and to work on my tan.

ABOUT ME

I am spontaneous, laid-back, open minded, adventure hungry and a glass half full kind of guy. My Dad is British (From Cambridge, England) and my mum is Filipino (From Davao, Philippines).

I was brought up in a very western community in Hong Kong my whole life. After high school I became an English teacher for a year (Teaching local chinese schools around rural parts of Hong Kong) as well as being an event promoter.

I eventually wanted to get into the film industry which is why I did a one year film course in Cebu, Philippines.at the same time working in SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). I've deferred my course a few times to travel around the Philippines (Such as Boracay, Manila, Davao, Cebu and Palawan) and I can tell you now that the Philippines has been one heck of a ride!

I then came back to Hong Kong working in Social Media and Event Coordinating for a cigar company based in Asia (https://www.facebook.com/RockyPatelAsiaPremiumCigars) and Social Media Coordinator for Orange Tree Restaurant (https://www.facebook.com/OrangeTreeRestaurantHK).

Right now I am working a part time job as I study a course in programming, saving up money for my next adventure. Who knows where it will be next!
