Summary

I am a 24 year old male who has a dream of becoming the best version of myself. I've lived in a small town my whole life and always had the dream of working and traveling the world. Currently i am working a full time job while i am completing my studies. I like to be independent and prove to myself that i can make it. Even though i am independent i am a very big extrovert and can make friends with anyone. I always strive to do better and enrich the lives of the people around me. I have a passion for learning and teaching.

Some of my hobbies are golfing, fishing and cricket. I work good in team sports and also like individual sports to test myself.
