About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Poke the moon

ABOUT ME

I enjoy the good things, and don't worry about the bad things. My number 1 reason for travelling is to taste new food. In a restaurant I always order the food with the most-difficult-to-pronounce name. I am not good at describing myself!

PHILOSOPHY

Void the warranty.
