About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the meaning in life

ABOUT ME

[Bob}
I travel, study, learn, experience. I lived in Japan for 4 years to learn the culture and had a guesthouse and cafe with Mayumi, but had to leave after the earthquake. Now, I am staying in Thailand and attending anthropology courses at a private organization.

[Mayumi]
We were active CSers in Japan, but moved to Chiang Mai 2011.
We had lots of fun with CSers.
It would be nice to meet up with people here in Chiang Mai too;)

PHILOSOPHY

learn, love, and serve
