About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To know the world, places and people, we all are living in, learn from them, the way they pursuit happiness and how can I apply it in my life,

To make this world a little bit better

ABOUT ME

I was working in finance for about two years then sell my car and start traveling around the world starting in Asia, spent a year in New Zealand, then China and Mongoloa, a 3 months South American trip, then Shenzhen, then USA, Mexico, New York, Ireland, Balkans, now I'll be in Thailand and around SEA.

People considers me as easygoing, talkative, positive and careless in a good way.
As most of the travelers I love to meet with locals and to know places where they usually go to . Quite adventurous and not afraid of eating almost anything or going anywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep true to my values and nothing will go wrong, be respectful with the people, honest with myself, enjoy the moment and keep moving.
