Profile
I'm 63 years old, travelling with Danielle ,my spouse.ASIA is our favorite destination.Snorkelling and LAZING are a must for me.Danielle likes white sandbeach,calm water,sun and expensive accomodation!
Stick to oral stage,I like nice food,even expensive but I am not afraid of hostels.Good FOOD is one of the predominant interests of our trips.

We tolerate only few old stones and 1 or 2 Museum.
