ABOUT ME

This is Bob's profile info:

Tall slim dude, love lemon merangue pie and Asian food. Enjoy foreign movies & non-fiction books - life is too short to read bad books!

Passionate about travelling the world with my wife Alison - meeting people, food, culture, architecture, costumes, music, sites and sights - everything the world has to offer and more.
Favourite places are back of beyond - where there are no Cococola or Marlboro cigarette billboards.

Favourite countries - Yemen, Cuba, Myanmar (not for the politics!!!) Georgia and pristine Antarctica.

Have written several books....

Google gives 10,700 hits.

PHILOSOPHY

A smile is the international language.
Leave only footprints.
Love your neighbours - all over the world.
Look after the world's children - the planet is in their hands.
