Other Information

Relevant Skills

I have visited many countries and I know the importance of good organization during travels. I have experience both from the position of a traveling musician and a person organizing the visit of a music group.

During my travels around the world (I have visited Kenya, Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia, USA, many countries in Europe and more) I have gained valuable people skills and I have also learned how to respond to various situations in different countries. I am good at making decisions under pressure and I have excellent organization and time-management skills.

- Poetry - I myself like to write a piece or two time to time - http://allpoetry.com/poems/by/Chris%20Illusion
