CURRENT MISSION

Going to Australia on a working holiday visa. Live, work, save money and maybe just try to understand the Aussie accent a little better.

ABOUT ME

Just finished traveling 7 Asian countries for 10 months. Before that, I was an engineer living a sedentary life that I loathed. I vowed never to return to that life again so if the next time you see me back in the office, feel free to give me a bunch of fives.

Travel has opened doors of possibilities for me and I intend to explore each and everyone of them. And because of my love for travel, I'm currently looking for ways to generate income without being committed to a place for too long. If you're already doing something of this sort, I'd be delighted if you could share your insights with me.

I developed my hobby for reading books in my travels and it's not stopping now. I enjoy playing football and learning the guitar at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Live adventurously and curiously.
