About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To bring my smile to as many places as possible

ABOUT ME

To know ALL about me, you really must read the book :)
My life so far has been extraordinary. And it's only getting better. As a journalist I met and interviewed some of the most famous persons alive. Honestly. But that's history. As a tour guide, I have focused on China, central America and the UK, among other lovely places. Now exploring New Zealand, on my way to take Australia by storm...
I play the piano and the guitar, and if you are unlucky enough you can even hear me sing...
I adore my 4 kids, the eldest made me a grandpa! And I have not finished being a child myself...

PHILOSOPHY

Love life, love people, celebrate the many gifts you are given, always try to learn, always try to be kind and understanding, always try to smile. Please smile right now if you read this! Lovely! Thank you :)

Well, i do love to travel... So new cities, people, places, they all excite me. Oh yes, I love scuba diving. And bridge. And playing the piano and the guitar. And animals. Oh, by the way, I am vegetarian.
