CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and its people, as to come up with more creative alternatives, that then may inspire others to create a better world

ABOUT ME

I am now part of a family of four, so travel style and hosting has changed. My girlfriend already has a 15 y/o who lives and travels with us, and we have a 4 y/o daughter now.

Love travelling, of course. Photography is now a serious hobby. Have a private pilot license. Former member of Junior Chamber International (JCI), now a senator. Travelled to over 100 countries before. Enjoy movies and listening to music.

PHILOSOPHY

everything is relative. You can choose to see beauty.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Being let through at a political road block in Kyrgyzstan, travelling there with a Japanese girl in a Ford Scorpio that had lost its exhaust pipe. The farmers demonstrating there let us through because they were too nice, where they should have kidnapped us to get world wide media attention for their demonstration. But they forgot.
