I'm a life long "Wanderlust".

Food, people, sport & libations, in no particular order are the dribving forces in my life...Love to meet new people and get some local perspective when on the road, & give some local in sigh to those visiting my neck of the woodst if I am able to do so.

I am a chef/Restaurant owner in Riga Latvia. I'm all about quality experiences & life's Simple Pleasures.

I managed and operated a few Hostels in my day & consider myself a tidy, respectful, & grateful guest.

A few things I say quite often, and more so on the road...

"Less is more"

"Don't knock it till you try it first"
