I'm fired up on:

I'm a bit of a culture vulture, I like theaters, museums, cinemas. I watch a lot of movies. I'm also into photography, Buddhist philosophy and meditation, and hill walking...or some combination of all of the above.

Tunes I rock out to:

I wouldn't call my musical taste eclectic, just suffering from multiple personality disorders. I like many different genres. A few artists of note include Ben Folds, Radiohead, Beck, Air, Daft Punk, Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club, Earl Scruggs, Manu Chao, The Band, and Aretha Franklin.

Travel style:

I don't discriminate; I've travelled as a tour guide in glitzy hotels with wheely suitcases all the way and as a backpacker with a daily budget of 400 rupees. Big groups or solo are good in my book though I do have a preference for traveling with one or two close friends.

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Artists, wise people, anyone with a touch of self awareness

I want to make a difference by:

The battle between good and evil begins in our hearts and minds.

Languages spoken, other than English:

School level German, broken French, a smattering of Spanish, pigeon Dutch and caveman Korean

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I no longer feel like a foreigner.
