My Story
Travel takes many forms for many people. I firmly believe that travel of any kind is enriching. For the last decade I have chosen trips that many people see as exotic or out of the way but the places I have been blessed to see and the people I have met have helped shape me as a person.
I’m not adverse to a “standard” beach holiday or city break but anywhere I travel I try to find something unique about the destination to explore.
This blog is the culmination of many thousands of airmiles and countless trips to amazing places and cultures. I hope you enjoy finding inspiration for your travels.
