Here you will find some travel journals, with pictures. Also herein is listed all the countries I've had the good fortune of being in, along with my thoughts on how it felt to be there. The dates when I was in each country can be found here.I have an urge to continue, as travelling is another obsession of mine, although it is one that is not always easy to fulfill. Also here is a list of flights I've taken. The map above shows my journeys by land and sea. The pictures in the country sections and journals can be expanded by clicking on them. The maps show the areas of the particular country where I have been these routes are marked in green. Finally if you like what you see here, and you happen to know any contacts in an organization that is looking for a travel writer let me know. It would be a dream come true if I could finance my travels, by traveling. Or writing about traveling.
