My life journeys have brought me to over 1,500 locations worldwide and still counting. I have worked and lived the last fifteen years throughout Eastern Europe, Middle East, North Africa and Asia, and currently reside in the Philippines with plenty of opportunity to explore Southeast Asia. A beach bum at heart, you will usually find me enjoying beautiful remote tropical beaches.
