My Travel story
As a child my parents loved to travel, and every summer we packed up the Morris Minor with camping gear and travelled round Europe. Like sunflowers, we followed the sun, and if the rain spoiled our fun we packed up and drove further south. The rule (which I never manage to enforce with my own children) was one ice cream a day.
As a student, became more adventurous – a ski-season in France, a working holiday in Hong Kong, I studied deforestation in Kenya and pigged out in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Later, with my wife we continued our explorations in Europe and around the world, fitting it all in around building our careers and making our nest together.
We moved from Bristol to Greece, where we are happily settled and the growing family meant that our travel horizons were a little more limited. Still we managed to see plenty of Europe and the odd jaunt to Africa. In those day, the demands of juggling business and family meant relaxation and fun with the kids was my main priority.
Things move on however, and with my family more independent of me, I started to look for a little more adventure. I certainly got it in a trip I took a couple of years ago to Ecuador with two friends which included an amazing trip into the Amazon basin by dug-out canoe. I remembered what I really loved about travel, to experience new cultures, connect with people who lived a different way, and enjoy beautiful surroundings, away from my normal busy life.
The blogging has now become almost as much a passion as the travel – sometimes I ask myself if I blog about my travels or if I travel to fill my blog?
Whichever it is, you dear readers will get the benefit, as I share with you my travel adventures past, present and I hope many more to come in the future. I am especially close to Greece, as My wife is Greek and we are still discovering this beautiful contry together. Initially this blog was meant to but just a weblog of of Greek Adventure, but has spilled over to where I talk about everything related to travel.
