I like good food, live music, contemporary art, architecture, visiting historical sites, exploring local markets and wandering through interesting neighborhoods. I especially like to learn about a new place through its cuisine and food culture. Lived in France to get an MBA.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Seeing 3 great European peaks in 4 days - Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and Jungfrau. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Hitchhiking through the French Alps to our ski resort because our car got snowed in on the way there... I found that the French are very kind people!
Teach, Learn, Share
Having spent a long time there, I can teach/share all sorts of things about Japan.
