I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


My serious side: I came to this country at the age of 5 and as an immigrant refugee, I've experienced firsthand and am opposed to all forms of injustice and intolerance. I've always felt an urgent need to help those less fortunate and to fight injustice, especially when I feel I live in the most hypocritical country in the world.
My fun side: I'm very social and I'm the kind of person who's not afraid to break the ice in a crowd of people, because it just takes one person to take a chance and make the first move. I love people and living life to the fullest, and I am always striving to discover the wonderful beauty and joy of people, cultures, languages, and having new experiences and building bonds and bridges with kindred souls throughout the world.My motto has always been "Don't judge someone before you walk in their shoes."
TOM'S TOP 10 INJUSTICES IN THE WORLD: (not in any particular order...they all suck!)
COMING SOON...this is mostly for me to remember what is most aggravating on my conscience and consciousness.
