Portrait

Well I'm one of the most frustrated travellers I've ever known! For the longest time I burned to travel, somewhere .. anywhere. But with raising kids, dogs, jobs etc .. there just never seemed to be enough time or money to follow my dream and hit the road ...

Now folks, all that has changed. The kids are old enough to look after themselves, so world, here I come!! I'm about to hit South and Central America for 6 months early next year, wandering around seeing and experiencing as much as I can fit in before returning back to reality ... ho hum ...

But yes I travel to understand more about the world and the people and life in general. I love adventure and fun, and can't wait to explore all the countries I plan to travel through next year ... SOOOO watch this space :) In the meantime, I'll fill in the gaps for places I've already been, so this is a work in progress as I'm still working out how to use this program (great tho eh?)

Cheers! and good luck and happiness on your travels!!
