In November last year I launched my book 'Walking with Tigers - Success Secrets of the World's Top Business Leaders' in South Africa.
The main launch was at Exclusive Books at Sandton Square, this is the largest bookstore in Africe.
Afterwards someone introduced themselves to me and asked if I would like to come to their private game reserve to play with some real baby tigers.
It turned out to be one of the most wonderful experiences of my life,take a look at the video....

Chang Mai, Thailand - a must see....
In January I was in Thailand again and this time spoke in Chang Mai. It was my first trip to this wonderful city which has a striking mountain backdrop, over 300 temples and a quaint historical aura. It's also a modern, friendly, internationally-flavoured city with much to offer - food, accommodation and shopping are all top quality and cheap, and the nights are relatively cool.
Thailand's second-largest city and the gateway to the country's north was founded in 1296. You can still see the moat that encircled the original city. Doi Suthep, topped by one of Thailand's holiest wats, rises behind the city, providing a dramatic backdrop and fine views of the city. As usual, I took some time to visit the Elephant sanctuaries and I hired a longtail boat and travelled up on the rivers, stopping at a local farmer for a breakfast of fresh fruits, wonderful.....
This is definitely a place to put on your travel itinerary.

Dubai - Holiday or Business - Ideal Destination
This has been a busy year with 2 trips to Dubai, and other trips all over Asia and Holland. In the next few months I have engagements all over the USA, Holland, Germany, Rome and Budapest, I think there is nothing better in life than exploring and enjoying the global market which is now so accessible to everyone.
Dubai keeps growing every time I go there and this time I stayed at a new hotel at what will be the biggest shopping centre in the world which is also at what will be the highest building in the world. Having travelled and worked in Dubai for the past 10 years, I feel that the infrastructure has not been able to keep up with the growth with traffic now being as crazy as London and it took me an hour to get through immigration where it normally would take 10 minutes.
Take a look at what's happening in this great city.
