ABOUT ME
I'm a traveler who love to cycle, visiting cultural and historical places around the world, and sometimes I dive on my leisure time. Love cooking and eating as well experiencing culinary adventures. I'm a bit adrenaline-junkie for the stuff I haven't check on my list which is now only left to Bungee Jumping, Flying Trike and Wall climbing.
PHILOSOPHY
If life gives you bad things, now it depends on yourself how to make those bad things became beautiful
