About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe diem!

ABOUT ME

I love stories, to read and to write. Fiction aside, I'm also a TV journalist.

I enjoy the company of people as a principle, but I don't have the patience for stupidity or selfishness.

A good conversation over brewed black tea or a glass of wine is great. As is a nice walk in the country or a big park.

New experiences attract me immensely. I like taking risks and learning in the process.

There's not enough comedy in the world. Rise all the comedians and bring in a revolution!

PHILOSOPHY

Chance is overrated. If you want something, go get it. If you want change, make it happen. Live your life.
