About me
Eating kebab anywhere in Xinjiang, cycling through Tasmania’s interiors, enjoying a bumpy ride to Muang Sing, navigating through Hanoi’s narrow streets, having a beer near Singapore’s Marina Bay, getting soaky wet in front of the Taj Mahal, strolling over Tiananmen square, rubbing shoulders with Karachi’s Rangers, counting double deckers in London, eating Danish pastry in Copenhagen, getting caught in a sandstorm in Skardu, driving through Australia’s outback, swimming at Normandy’s beaches, drinking buffalo milk in Bombay, making long train journeys on Chinese hard seaters, taking Hong Kong’s Star Ferry a thousand times a day, nearly choking of a Thai curry, getting lost in Lahore, trying to make it to Phnom Penh via non existent borders, falling into the Mekong river, going walkabout in Sri Lanka, photographing gulag-style houses in Qinghai, skiing down mountains in Tirol, flying through the Karakoram ranges, eating fries in Belgium, sailing over Holland’s lakes and rivers, driving across Germany’s autobahns, being amazed by Scandinavia’s natural beauty, hopping into Spain, boating it from HK to Macau, looking over Kuala Lumpur, chewing on red peppers in Sichuan, fixing bike tyres in Yangshuo, getting trapped inside Shanghai’s harbor, playing football in Qingdao, filming nuclear power plants in Lanzhou, diving off Queensland’s coast, walking over Sydney’s beaches, taking rickshaw rides in Delhi, catching subways in Paris, getting stranded at any airport, are only a few of my favorite things to do.
To get anywhere, I advise to take a bus, hitch a ride, catch a flight, jump on a train, board a ship, row a boat, ride a bike, go on foot, or simply use your imagination.
