CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and make others happy

ABOUT ME

If I am not traveling, I should be learning a language. If I am doing neither, I should not be living.

PHILOSOPHY

Where there is injustice, silence is complicity.

Interests

Being on the move. Why? Because the history of mankind is a history of migration... by moving we are making history, by staying still we are stalling it.

If you are undertaking a journey and need to choose between riding a camel, a horse, a donkey, or a yak, choose the yak.
