ABOUT ME

Outgoing funny traveler who likes to meet new people.

Photography, im good at it.
Cooking, im a master chef
Cycling, I like a lot
Traveling, been going around the world since 1998
Storytelling, i love it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow What a Ride!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

But I have done so many... Ok I tell only one
Few years back I geared up in Bali for own scubadive expedition, went and bought own compressor etc, all needed stuff. Went to Irian Jaya, Indonesian Papua to explore diving places for 3 months.
It was amazing, lived with natives and rented small canoe and went diving into places where no one else has dived before...
