CURRENT MISSION

You don't know it until you have walked it.

ABOUT ME

My philosophy on travel is that before you go somewhere you should learn (at least a little) about the language and the people. If you have already started on those two elements your trip will be even more rewarding.

PHILOSOPHY

Try it three times before you say you don't like it.
