CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to take a break from work(avoid a quarter life crisis:) and just have some fun exploring the diversity/similarities around the world, appreciate natural beauty/city streets and gain further life experience/connection with people.

ABOUT ME

I am truly a people person and thrive on life experience - I am super curious about the world & it's people. I can't comprehend how beautiful the world is, how innovative/creative it's people are, how screwed our political systems are, how amazing some of the contemporary art & music is(not to forget films), how severe the poverty levels are(thanks to our systemic failures) and how eclectic the drama we call 'life' is...phew heavy eh:) I tend to go on a tangent :) Nonetheless, I love a laugh with chilling out at the park, or a lil cafe. I aspire to 'live in the moment'...

PHILOSOPHY

"Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life" Omar Khayyam

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I have done is be generous and amazing things that have happened to me are acts of generosity by people. Don't get me wrong, people do sh*t things to me too, but I let myself to think of them as exceptions. Why should I lose faith in fellow beings 'cause of the notorious ones.
Amazing thing I have seen would have to be the Bosphorus!
