About

Hola, me llamo Paco (Papa Buffalo in Khmer). Being part of the Khmer Diaspora and, after having lived nearly 50 years in various countries around the world, I am returning to the country to settle there for a while. As with every new destination, it's a perpetual restart for tedious procedures: Visa, plane tickets, banking, moving, transport, accommodation, etc. Thus, each time I have to quickly re-adapt to new situations, while maintaining as soon as possible the lifestyles already acquired, and this, in most cases, with a very small budget.
Interests: Vivre "utilement" !

Occupation

I am Businessman.
