Now that the children and his Italian restaurant can more or less stand on their own two feet, Mick can now fully focus on his other passions: in addition to good food, these are traveling and motorcycling. Throughout his life, this was mainly limited to holidays in which he saw all corners of the world by motorcycle, car or camper, but now there is also room beyond that. Thanks to his experience, Mick can be deployed anywhere, but is currently mainly active in South-East Asia.
