I am more of an armchair traveller, watching those gorgeous national geographic and discovery documentaries filled with fantastic remote places that only those lucky few have visited.
Only in these recent years did I decide to travel a little more seriously and moving slightly out of my comfort zone. I tend to travel alone only because it seems no one wanted to travel the places I wanted to visit.
Like everyone else, I have visited most of South-East Asia except some parts of Indonesia and Philipines. Did the whole of Australia and New Zealand, bits of Europe.
I have yet to visit other parts of the world and yearn to visit what's left of the exotic looking places that drones of tourists have yet to invade.
This travel blog was started because I'm getting older and I need a place to collect my memories and all my travel photos. When my memory start to fade, this blog would remind me where I have been, what I have experienced.
If you enjoy what I have here and perhaps like to travel with me, drop me an email or a comment.
