The owner of this site has worked in property development and corporate restructuring. He finds that work offers not even half of what he wants from life. He is currently researching the philosophy of science.
He has worked in 14 countries. He was 7 months alone in China.
His interests are science; classical art, literature and music; almost no pop, jazz or rock music; European and Asian cities with art, music, theater and architecture, antiquities and museums; good restaurants anywhere – especially seafood; the ocean - especially tropical islands and places with large tide ranges; snorkeling with sea turtles, Manta rays, whale-sharks and (only wild) dolphins; walking high in the mountains and on glaciers. His first love is always anywhere where the nature is extreme. He is a qualified scuba diver, parachutist and ocean yacht-master. However, sadly, he does not do these things anymore.
From choice he does not eat red meat or things containing sugar. Chicken, fish and dairy products he eats very rarely.
He is 77 years old, fit and active. He speaks (British) English, (German) German, French (rusty but salvageable) and very small amounts of Spanish, Italian, Czech and Mandarin. He does not do social media or know, admire or follow popular culture.
This site contains scenes from just some of the places the site-owner has visited in the last 20 years. He hopes you like the pictures as much as he enjoys being in these places.
