About Me

CURRENT MISSION

BE HAPPY

ABOUT ME

Having been traveling and living abroad for some years now, it is great not only about seeing different things but also meeting different people. Life can change so much after some cultural shocks which of course are eye and mind opening experiences. You learn, you change, and at the same time know more about yourself, and the more you don't know about yourself.
At this very uncertain stage of life, I try to keep on enjoying meeting people, creating happiness for people and myself. and a new target, put 'life' + 'organized' together :)

Being grateful,
love bargains
love freecycle
love sharing

PHILOSOPHY

Walk until you can't walk! Do it before you are too old to do! Enjoy every moment while WE ARE YOUNG!

the key to happiness... is low expectation

It is all about 'give and take'.
Sharing brings people together.

Life itself is simple. It's people who make it complicated.

*Staying awake for 56hrs without taking a 5 sec nap in between
*Sleeping 16 hours straight without waking up in between
*Couchsurfing at the same place for 2 years (but of course I paid rent)
*Formed a CS commune in Acton London, with my CS family

Teach, Learn, Share
