  • Travel: The Next Generation

    One of the joys of traveling is learning about other cultures.  Most of my travel was inspired by others, hearing their stories and their experience.  Becoming a little jealous in this case was a good thing as it inspired me to act.  

  • Life’s Next Phase

    Now I’m into my 50s my mind is turning to the next phase of my life and what I want to get out of it especially as I transition to retirement. Education, health, spiritual balance and new travel and cultural experiences are very possible with the right focus, attitude and commitment.

  • World Trip 2026 Update – Australian Leg Booked and Paid

    While my World Trip 2026 is still 16 months away a lot has recently occurred.  Most importantly my employer had granted me approval for 8 weeks leave.  I’ve also paid for tour on first leg, commencing in November 2026, and put down a deposit for the second tour activity.

  • Renovations Almost completed – time for travel planning and saving

    Over the last 12 months, I’ve been slowly upgrading and fixing up my apartment. This started with painting the apartment, replacing an old bed, replacing the toilet, replacing the blinds / curtains, and replacing the couches.

  • Future Adventures: 2026 and beyond

    With my 2024-25 world trip behind me I’m now focused on what is next.  Having visited 90 countries so far I’ve issued a challenge to myself to experience 100 countries before I retire (hopefully sometime before 2029 and 2032).
