PERSONAL INFORMATION/INTERESTS

I am of a Dutch-Indonesian heritage. My main interests are modern art, photography, soccer and international travel and affairs. In the last 5 years I have traveled extensively: China, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Europe and the Caribbean. As an avid social geographer I enjoy experiencing different cultural environments and analyzing how people work and live. I find it really fascinating to observe how people culturally express themselves in art and commerce.
