CURRENT MISSION

To ensure that when I'm on my death bed I can smile and say with confidence: "Yep... I did well there"

ABOUT ME

Very easy going, open minded, enjoy learning about new customs and cultures, sharing ideas and experiences, love food and all sorts of world music. Feel at home in a mud hut or 5 star hotel. I don't plan ahead very much.
