Started a new life chapter in 2009 and loving it! Bye Bye China (since 2003) and the world of Communication and welcome to the Humanitarian world! Where?

Re:take me with you
Was a really fun outing indeed and yes Anastasia you are right, Chimpanzees are really big ! Would definitely not want to fight with one of them ... But in same time, they are a lot of fun to watch, & look so human in a way, was really surprised... Population of Chimp has dramatically dropped, a real pity ...

Excellent adventure!
I've been out of email lands, so i'm just now reading of your new home--you always choose such adventurous places. What a wonderful chimp encounter in those great dugouts! I look forward to reading of your weekend adventures, and I'd also love to learn of your mission and work there. You are a real inspiration!

You sure know how to choose some off the beaten track destinations. By the way, surfing in Liberia? Tell me more!

Surfing in Liberia indeed!
Surfing in Liberia is definitely off the beaten track but just like Sierra Leone there are some really got spots! Robertsport (2H north of Monrovia toward Sierra Leone) would be the place to go + there is a surfer lodge where you can stay/eat/meet other surfers :-) if you need more info, don't hesitate to send me a PM. Cheers
