Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To enjoy life :), be good and honest.
I am open minded have travelled a lot to 65 countries and some of them many times. I have among else visited India, Cuba, the States, Indonesia, Israel, many countries in south and central America and the Middle East, almost all the North European countries and more.
I work in tourism and consultancy and published the travel book VISITOR'S GUIDE - for 16 years. You can get a free book on www.visitorsguide.is Also made Visitors Guide book to Bali.
I look younger than I am, maybe because I try to have a healthy lifestyle both in food and exercise:), although not always fulfilling that aim.
On Facebook Visitorsguidetravel you can see many pictures, info and videos from my travels.
PHILOSOPHY
I live to enjoy, of course not always with all success.
I try to be responsible to other people and the environment as well.

Teach, Learn, Share
Be honest and true to your self.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Depends on the person.
Even sometimes if some interesting person I could go to the countryside for a few days (sharing petrol and accommodation cost). Where I am maybe going for some business as I write about restaurants, and travel and like to have a little company and perhaps a little help driving etc.
