Global

As someone who consumes more world cinema than most people have hot dinners, I have a deep passion for the diversity of culture and language on this planet. I've spend much of my life travelling the globe experiencing the food, customs, nature and unique experiences that other countries and people have to offer.My travels have taken me to Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Fiji, Hawaii, USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, India, Sri Lanka, Georgia, Mexico, Italy, Austria, France, The Netherlands, Germany, The Czech Republic, Romania, Turkey, Spain, UK, Israel, The Philippines, New Zealand.Some places I'd love to visit : Taiwan, Guatemala, Norway, Peru, Samoa, Borneo, Russia, Albania, and Madagascar.All of this travel has kept me curious, adaptable and quite confident operating solo with a camera just about anywhere.
