About me
Am now well and truly into my travelling stride; now up to 54 countries (not that I’m ticking them off, erm, right…). Last year has seen three proper trips:
1. South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique.
2. Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Siberia, Russia.
3. France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Srpska, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Luxembourg, Belgium.
Now planning a central Asia trip for September/October this year. Multiple entry Russian visa being processed at the moment and once that’s come through then I’ll start working on some of the others… Can’t wait for some proper travelling in the wilds of unknown lands.
