Profile
Check out www.edsander.com/travel for more blogs and other stuff ...
Ever since my first far journey to Thailand in 2004 I've become addicted to travelling, specifically to Buddhist countries in Asia. Travelling and learning about other countries and cultures has become my main goal in life. I'm normally planning one 3 week journey to Asia and a shorter 1-2 weeks journey to a place in or near Europe every year.
