Been around the world a thousand times.... 

Love travelling, discovering new places and meeting new (and by all means good!) people.. 

Love skiing, golf, sunshine and the beach. Love reading, yoga and staying fit. My annual ritual over the years has become a detox holiday in Thailand, but more about that, if and when I see you.

I am a vegan, hence for the health conscious, you'll find a few basic, but useful tools in my place.. 

If a few new friendships come out of this airbnb adventure all the better, in any case, I wish to those who stay at my place, they'll feel at home and I only wish for good people to come across my way (-:
