Q: Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
A: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Egypt.
Q: When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A: Smartphone, mobile battery, my hat.
Q: What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?
A: The weather and temperature of the destination, where and when to meet up with the person to meet. Also, transportation access to the place where the client will stay.
Q: What is your best and/or worst vacation memory?
A: The best was the Moominvalley Park that I visited with my wife and son just last month. My son and I had a great time cheering on my wife as she tried ziplining for the first time. But the best is often updated. The worst was Tokyo, where I went alone when I was a student. I just wandered the streets of Shinjuku in solitude and stayed at an internet cafe at night. It was a lonely, uncomfortable, and desolate trip. I don't really remember why I did that.
