Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission is live every day of my life to the full, enjoy myself, meet new people through travel, and be adventurous! My moto is "impossible is nothing", and I believe to go through life making sure I don't regret not doing anything I want to do!
ABOUT ME
I am currently living in Sydney. Unfortunately I am not available for couch surfers to stay with me at the moment, but I am maybe free for a coffee.
I decided to change my life last year and to fulfill my life ambition of travel! I gave up my job as a Sales & Marketing Manager for a hotel, sold my car, gave up my apartment and packed my life into boxes...bought a backpack and got myself a Round the World Ticket!!! I am fun, easy to get on with, adventurous, love traveling, enjoy meeting new people, love a challenge, love to keep fit, I love the great outdoors, running, cycling and trekking! Back home I am envolved with local charities, and I organise lots of fund raising events. I ran the London Marathon in April 09 and raised over 2000 pounds for Cash for Kids & Rosemere Cancer Foundation. I think its important to help others in life. I am now living in Sydney and I love it here!
PHILOSOPHY
I think its important in life to enjoy every minute and get the most out of life! I am ambitious, and have a positive outlook! "Impossible is nothing" "Fear is temporary, regret lasts forever"
"You can always regret what you do in life, but never regret what you don't do!"

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all kinds of music! The love festivals, I went to Stereosonic in Nov '11 and Im going to Future Music in March '12. The latest book I have read was Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have seen is Mount Everest - I completed the Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal in Sept 09. The most physical and mental achievement is running and completing the London Marathon in April 09 in 4hrs 39 min and the most important part was raising lots of money for charity!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am willing to share my adventures and life experiences, and most of all learn from other people in the CS community. I have experience of working in a fast moving corporate environment back home, and yet love the basic life of India and Asia, there are so many places I would love to travel in the world and I'm keen to hear others peoples views on life.
