CURRENT MISSION

I have lived in Indonesia for the past 8 years. I am about to head off to USA, Brazil and Equador for a one month trip to my friends wedding and them some cycling.

ABOUT ME

I am a single dad, work and leisure traveler around SE Asia. I usually travel between Bandung, Jakarta and Makassar (where my daughter lives) but also go to other provinces around Indonesia often. I run my own company focusing on technology and international development/community related projects. I have used couch surfing a few times and mainly think it's just a nice way to meet people instead of sitting in hotels.

PHILOSOPHY

Mindfulness, thinking big and staying motivated.
