Interests

travel (ofcourse), interested in culture, local cuisine, music and art; adventure sports, Discovery Travel & Living, and National Geographic channels, Samantha Brown, Anthony Bourdain and many more.

I travel like Tony Wheeler !
You are someone who others will come to rely on for their best travel advice and information. With any luck at all, you'll eventually get bought out by the BBC, so you can retire, and then keep traveling anyway.
