Profile
All people are welcome, men and women. Love to meet expats living here too, even just for cinema, concerts and so on.
I love to be host and tourguide for you when you come to Holland, no strings attached, just bring a good humour and attitude, buy me a coffee some time or bring a nice souvenir (pop music in your local language would do). I am willing to have guests as well (will save you money), cook occasionaly for you, and even a trip together to neighbour Belgium, or Paris will be possible!
Coming for the soft/drugs to Amsterdam: sorry than count me out!
Am going to organise THEMED travbuddy meetups in Amsterdam.
First one will be gaymeeting, second one a meeting on architecture.
HELP NEEDED !!!!
Am preparing for trips to: Ghana-Nigeria-Uganda-Kenya-South Africa (AFRICA) and Bangladesh-India-Pakistan-Nepal-Afghanistan. Long travels. ANY tips especially about local transportation, is most welcome!

Where do I begin?
Jan 09, 1981 - Jan 11, 1981
It is a part of a song by Shirley Bassey, or a part of a song from my imagination, but it is always hard to start with a blog, right? Well, here you will read about all my travel experiences, from the early road to discovering my gay life to the desire to learn about and from other cultures. Traveling is in my blood, and I am glad that it is something you can't cure! Love it!
