About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and meet lots of people and learn

ABOUT ME

I like meeting people from all over the world, and learn about different cultures and view points. I am not dogmatic but like lively debate on issues and can get a bit passionate about things I believe in. I love nature and conservation of it. I am a firm believer in the right to have an opinion different from mine. I am fairly easygoing in my relation with people and am told i am easy to get along with. I have a drawback that I become very quiet and withdrawn at times, but be assured it isnt you its my nature to become introspective at times especially when I am moved by things I see.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy can be explained in a nutshell in the word "Respect". I respect your right to be you and different from me in your ideas and lifestyle as long as you reciprocrate that.
