About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Unaccomplished

ABOUT ME

Always searching for questions to ask. Afflicted with wanderlust and travelling is my drug, together with meeting new people and seeing the world from new perspectives. (Coffee is also my drug, but that is a different story.)

I absolutely love photography (http://toingee.com/) - it's so magical for me because a photograph captures an instant, but yet can reflect the past, the present and the future. It can communicate culture, history and emotions, and says as much about the subject as the photographer.

Always have time for witty conversations, a good laugh and good company. I enjoy movies and books that help explain the world I live in. (But certainly not beyond brainless entertainment too!)

PHILOSOPHY

Beauty is everywhere, especially in the places you least expect.

And on a more practical note: Travel light.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have seen in my lifetime? The internet. I started my life without it and have seen it touch so many aspects of everyday life, both in good ways and bad. And it is only the beginning of an adventure that I can't even imagine!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to learn right about anything you're willing to share, but certainly need help with my French, German and my photography.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Monaco, Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State, Viet Nam
