Description

Hi

I traveled as a backpacker for over 30 years, in different countries on the 5 continents, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, most of South East Asia, Central America, and Europe.

I especially enjoy nature, sea kayaking, biking, cross country skiing and camping.

I sing and play guitar.

I love meeting people and chat about their day to day life in their own country.

I have done volunteer works with different NGO, and work 7 years with homeless people.
