About Me

I grew up being an average kid. A bit shy, good at maths, into sports like football, basketball and tennis. I was studying hard hoping to get into a good university, finish with a First Honours Degree and then find a great job and make some money.
Somewhere along the way, I started questioning things. I changed myself and my attitude towards life drastically. I'm a different and happier person from what I was a few years back. Howerver I haven't changed my path. I got into a good uni, graduated with a First Honours degree and I found a good job in a hedge fund. Sorry, *great job.
And now I quit and for the first time in my life, I don't know what I want/have to do next; and it's scary. And great...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove Route 1 from LA to San Francisco in 9 hours. Surfed in the Pacific Ocean and caught my plane to London 30 minutes before departure. All in the same day. The feeling of being the last person to walk into the plane with my hair still wet and salt still in my lips was probably one of the best I've ever experienced...
