Amongst other things I love traveling and want to get out there and see the world. The Greater Mekong region is next on the hitlist (Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand). I love to play the guitar and pen music when i get the chance, music inspires me in many ways. I also enjoy good food, cooking and eating, adventures and the outdoors.
