About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and if, in the process I can help and assist people and contribute positively to their lives, so much the better....

ABOUT ME

I am a fun loving South African Post graduate professional and have never been married....nothing wrong with me I think...it was matter of warped priorities and wrong choices. Been in Kosovo since 2007 with no immediate plans of leaving. I am quite social and love interacting with people. I have an array of contacts in several countries in the Balkans as well as across Africa. I do not have serious hangups or any real baggage apart from the fact that I only drink good red wine & whisky, use 2 ply toilet paper, prefer butter to margerine, hate when women wear white shoes...well....I think thats it...!!! Then I think I am a lateral thinker and not a conformist at all...!!! Live life to the fullest and a true optimist...!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Whats not for you goes by you...!!!
