About Me

CURRENT MISSION

..To take over the world in 24 months... muuuuahahah!...

ABOUT ME

humm...should i bring over some friends to tell you about me?..why not..hey guys, get over here.. and so it goes: I'm a "Very sociable and talkative", "funny, smiley", "positive vibed" (my permanent mood) and "friendly guy"(so nice of you!:)).

Now adding up a little myself: I love travelling and i guess my adventureous rate rose a bit in the past months when i decided to quit my stable-very-insteresting-well-doing-happy-senior-financial-consultant job to embrace a personal challenge in a 15 month journey around the world!

I refuse to live in a routine.. and to take anything for granted. Like to keep evolving on and on, learn about everything and really appreciate a good discussion sharing different points of view. I really like to Party (Star alliance should have a miles' card for this :))

I really have no time to be unhappy and to be sick, life's too short!..and always living it up, surrounded by friends!

PHILOSOPHY

Get the most of it at every moment. I'm Living for today! And no time for complaints :)
