About me
I’ve been living out of a backpack since 1992, traveling quite briskly, until the year 2000, since when I’ve been traveling constantly. I’ve been to over 170 countries, with the remaining countries tending to be south pacific or Caribbean islands. in another 9 months I’ll be finished exploring every country, region and continent on Earth :o)Recent activity
