Company info

I first visited Langkawi in 1990 and eventually moved here in 2001 so my knowledge of the island and the surrounding area is fairly extensive. I still enjoy a bit of travelling when I manage to take a holiday. I like visiting new places and am interested in many things from architecture, paintings, tasting new food, gardening, shopping and having a good time .. oh and I also like animals and especially cats!
