Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To find a get-rich-quick scheme that actually works!
ABOUT ME
Just some old fellow who is slightly obsessed with travelling. I've since carried the travelbug at an early age. I think I'm a pretty smart tourist who manages to stay out of trouble (most of the time) although I can be a compulsive risk taker sometimes. I'm very much into food and its one of the main reasons why I travel. I will also be spending the last half of 2017 studying in Nanjing, China.
PHILOSOPHY
"Make Voyages! Attempt them! There is nothing else.." -Tennessee Williams
"People who love to eat, are always the best people." -Julia Child
"Everything will be alright in the end, if its not alright, then its not the end." - A quote from a movie I can't seem to remember

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach - I could teach you how to instantly tell if anyone is fat or pregnant with 60% accuracy, sneak 3 dogs into a movie theatre, walk up a down escalator in like 2 seconds, convince your grandmother you're not real, win staring contests with a cat, forge signatures.
Learn - I want to learn about you! Yes, you! I want to experience all sorts of cultures and speak a little bit in every language.
Share - We can share opinions about politics, philosophies, lifehacks, book swaps, booze (I drink lots of red wine), travel tips n' tricks, wild stories and experiences. I also love to give back to the community by volunteering.
