About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"...watch with glittering eyes, the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places...."

ABOUT ME

I like the uncertainty of life... i crave the freedom of being on the road and travelling and i love getting lost..the unfamiliarity of it all. I'm not the typical tourist, i don't find joys in the "usual" sights but prefer to experience a snap shot of local life, whether its having a traditional meal to meeting local people. I just like to wander and explore all the little things that create the larger picture.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live in the moment and to appreciate every day. I try to be positive, even when the odds are stacked against me.
I try to be as open as i can.
I definitely laugh at myself alot and try and find the funny side to all situations.

I am yet to host as i have been travelling since i have joined but can't wait to be settled in one spot and have that opportunity to pay back into the CS community.
