Please tell us something else about yourself.: I'm from the US but spent most of my life as an expat in Asia. I now split my time living in Thailand and Laos, and can't stop getting involved in things well over my head. In addition to having a pub in Thailand, I now have a coffee plantation on the Bolaven Plateau in Laos where I intend to experiment with sustainable farming and eventually eliminate rural poverty in the area. My 14m high waterfall is pretty cool. Soon there will be an aquaponic system nearby it.
