About me

Gender Male
Introduction A six-pack (definitely not beer) teetotaler and a nonsmoker purist, searching far to find his roots

True, he still has many unattained dreams, but look at how many he has already realized and showcased in here.

Don had once come up with the idea of naming himself (an unforeseen term and a pigeon English of) "Hotel Trotter" (in English) / "旅店浪人" (in Chinese) / "ホテル浪人" (in Japanese, rōnin in Japanese kanji). This Blogger ID name perfectly fits right into his career arc of combining lifestyle with world travel.

He had been frequently traveling (in a high-flown fashion, no doubt) and often away for long stretches while he was building his own freelance writing and photography career around the globe, since 1988. Flying off to and touching down in 3 countries for three individual works within a 24-hour time is his unbreakable record up to the moment. Now he is staying “inactive”, but remaining engaged in moonlighting, to regain and to get a little extra rest as best as he possibly can.

And then, began his personal blogging in recent years about world experience under his belt.
