Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live everyday as if it's the last day.
ABOUT ME
I'm someone who will rather sleep in train/bus stations for the sake of talking to more people than to a luxurious hotel (even if it has an amazing view of the sunset/sunrise).
Great phobia of heights. Cried horribly (okay maybe that's even an understatement) while walking up the stairs to do zip line. But, absolutely love taking roller coaster (all for speed and thrill) and climbing mountains (because the summit is too good to be missed)
All up for crazy and wild adventures.
PHILOSOPHY
Be open-minded because you'll never know it before experiencing it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
1. Had a rifle (mega-huge) pointed onto my head when traveling through the borders of Dubrovnik, Croatia - Montenegro.
2. Was in a prison (lock-up cell) for a night in Prague, Czech Republic.
3. Slept in bus/train stations/airports for 8 consecutive nights when in the Scandinavia countries (Norway, Sweden and Denmark).
4. Illegally rode a motorbike in Vietnam (with no license/experience at all) and got into an accident.
5. Watched the most gorgeous and magnificent sky filled with stars after conquering Sapa.
Okay, and, a lot more crazier stuffs, but ... you need to talk to me in person.
