About

I a happy guy who loves to travel. I feel that in the mid nineties I woke up one morning and 20 years had flashed by, so I said "I AM OUTA HERE" and I have been traveling almost non stop ever since. Sometimes I feel I am trapped in a time warp, my body is getting older and my mind is thinking younger, has an alien taken over my body? :) I moved to Pattaya last October and am enjoying life. If you have time please check out my travel blog at www.fivestarvagabond.com
Interests: photography, good food & wine, travel, movies & music.,
