Wayne Parry

Biography

I love learning languages and I love travelling. As a frequent traveller, I strongly believe that we need to respect the environment and the culture of the place we're visiting - and that includes learning the local language. While it's not possible to be fluent in a language after a few days of being in the place where it's spoken, it's important to pick up a few local phrases and this is what makes a resonsible traveller.
