During my years of working at the UN, I travelled extensively and visited dozens of countries on all continents except Australia (nothing personal, mates, there are rarely UN conferences down under). This became a habit. You know that airport feeling when you are with a boarding pass in your hand, heading to another world. Authentic smaller places are better than famous tourist attractions. Meeting locals and making real connections is even better.

Eclectic musical taste. Everything except the hysterical jazz and horror films.
