I visited Macao during the cool month of December last year. Staying there for two days, I managed to visit all its historic monuments and properties that make up the UNESCO World Heritage inscription (together with some of its casinos :p).

In August 2013, I had an amazing adventure in Maui with my wife Kathy, our two kids Ben (12) and Leo (10) and my incredible in-laws. This Hawaii adventure changed my life.

In the West, we found underwater adventure and sunset in the dry forest on March 26, 2014. If you are wondering where … Continued
