CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and learn how it works. I would love to meet other people and learn what a typical day looks like in different countries.

ABOUT ME

My friends call me Ian. I started traveling for learning and experience last 2010 and got more into it on 2011 when I met a group of travelers.

Some people say that I am serious or unpredictable but I'd like to say that I am a jolly person. I love laughing a lot! I would love to learn how to cook someday. I'm a bit shy interacting but believe me I really love learning a lot from people. I love bring stories back home.

I earn a living by taking photographs of events or just about anything!

I blog about my experiences and my work at these sites.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that the world is a classroom. I'd like to travel around and learn how people live their lives it doesn't matter how primitive or modern they are, I would still want to learn.
