Ever since I was a kid and I listened to the stories that my Grandfather would tell about his travels around the world as a merchant sailor, I've longed to follow in his footsteps and see the a bit of the world. As a kid, I was lucky enough to experience a little taste of other countries, when I accompanied my parents and brother, on trips to Australia and the US. We also had a couple of exchange students and visitors from places such as New Caledonia and Japan come to stay with us and they proved to be interesting and entertaining people. Like many of my country-men and women, I have followed my wanderlust and the nature of my work has meant that I have been able to indulge this passion and have seen quite a few interesting places and meet a lot of interesting people. My travels have taken me to Australia, Europe, The Americas, Asia and Africa and the more I see of this amazing planet we live on, the more I want to see. My dream is to one day get a job working for a publication such as National Geographic or the Lonely Planet as a writer or photographer. Don't laugh! Dreams are free! I came to the UK in 1990, intending to work my way around western Europe for a year or two...and ended up staying! My work as a freelance IT specialist was much more in demand here than back home in New Zealand and the UK is a pretty nice place to live. You'll probably get bored with my repeated use of the words "Fantastic", "Marvellous", "Excellent" etc. which are dotted throughout the following pages, but the truth is I've never really been anywhere that I didn't enjoy immensely. If you travel with an open mind and heart then you'll find something special in every place you ever go. Check the links in the left border for a brief low-down on some of the places I've visited. I hope to add a lot more links to this page in the not-too-distant future. Alternatively, you can click on the map below. (Courtesy of ITA's Quick Maps used with permission)
