Some travel to explore, others to escape, some for work and others for fun – I travel for all those reasons, and more.

I really need to document where I go and where I’ve been, as I have been losing track.  It’s not because it is highly frequent travel to many destinations, just that I’m useless at keeping a journal!  I’m hoping that blogging helps.

I work as an Exploration Geologist who ends up in less than expected places.  Previous locations, where I have found myself working, include: Finland, Spain, DRC, Mali and The Sultanate of Oman. There are also field trips to places all around South Africa, Namibia and Cyprus that can’t be ignored.  Holiday travels include destinations around Africa: Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, South Africa etc.  I also cannot leave out trips to Europe, South America and The USA.

By cleaning up some old slide and negative films from the past 20 years and using the “Google Earth” resource as my guide, I hope that I can reconstruct some of these previous wanderings.  Admittedly, it is mostly for my own benefit - but I hope they provide some interest for you too.

In addition to all of that will be posts that are more up to date with my current status.  I may also throw in a few travel plans and background research of destinations where I hope to get to in the near future.

Please feel free to comment or query anything that you see in this blog.

Happy Travels!

P.S.

Despite there actually being comments attached to this “About” page of mine, my brand spanking new (and otherwise exceptionally spiffy) theme does not support said comments on Pages, of any sort. Go figure!  At least it supports comments on posts, phew! ;)

So, until the theme authors update this theme – know this: There be comments on this here page; I have not killed them – I am not as socially inept or awkward as I may otherwise appear!

Hopefully the update will come along soon :)
