VT has been a wonderful experience for me, I have found it enriching, informative and bloody funny. I'm thankful to live in Perth, which is not only a stunning place, but it has some of the best VT characters one could ever meet - plus Auckland. They know who they are, kicking their heels up just a couple of weekends ago ;0)))))
I'm very lazy, so don't expect too many tips & the like.I hope u enjoy whats here & feel free to ask about anything, well almost anything,LOL.

I'm not much of a writer as can be witnessed by my empty pages, just picures. This is a postcard I found which I thought might entertain visitors who through fate end up on my home page!
The Aussie male is well cultured, well dressed, well manered, speak multiple languages, some ladies consider us "buffed" lol, and the manners of an englsh gentleman.
So Ladies, without further ado, i present the Aussie Gentleman.

I find travel so incredibly fascinating, not just the history or culture of the country you are in, but of the travelers who are there. Their stories vary from being totally memerised and absorbed to shoot me now, please.
I'm always grateful for meeting the former because of the inspiration it provides, even the latter because it makes one aware how easy it is to become niave and opinionated.
Me, I enjoy traveling by myself because of the freedom it affords me, to stay luxury or very very basic, to eat well or lose lots of kilos,lol. To be able to say I like this place & stay a little longer, to wander through the backstreets of life.
That said, I'm not lonely - I see this question asked on many travel forums and I'm surprised. Whether I stay at the top of town or budget, one still comes into contact with local or traveler via tours, day trips, a interest or even a few beers! Traveling alone may make you feel vulnerable and of course at times you are, but overall, you find yourself pushing your comfort zones, learning, managing and most of all, engaging life.
To the independent single traveler, I lift my glass and shout "salute"

With the world economy taking a beating, millions losing livelihoods and marriages collapsing as a result, what would you do?
As I'm single I have been wondering what would I do if i lost my job? If I were made redundant - such a lovely word isn't it, how best could I maximise my savings, would it be better to look forwork or visit a country where my money would go further until the worst is over, then come back, hmmmm.
I have been thinking about countries that are cheap, reasonably stable, offer a beach/ party and beautiful scenery combo. So far I have come up with these; please excuse the spelling!
Central america, Some Carribean islands, Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay, Pacific islands to Guam, India, Sri Lanka.
Does anyone have any thoughts, if so please let me know.
