About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience as many facets of humanity; To seek the common ground of all people and see mankind as one.

ABOUT ME

I am a Civil/Structural Engineer. I have been working in Hong Kong since 2012.

I have backpacked around Europe via the Inter Rail in the summer of 2009 and hoping to explore more distant lands at the nearest opportunity.

Being at the front door of China and the springboard to Asia, the possibilities are simply mouthwatering! :D

PHILOSOPHY

My view on humanity is heavily based on Darwinism - Humanity is a very immature specie but is slowly beginning to realise its true potentials. Our perceptions of the world is extremely limited and often warped by our earthly needs.

I believe that we are all responsible for our surroundings and the people around us. Our contributions to the world should ultimately outweighs what we consume.
