Living the dream

South Korea
When I was 23, I decided a good ambition would be to visit at least one country for every year of my life. So, if I lived to 70, I would have visited 70 countries. Well, I have now well exceeded the goal (49 in 30 years), but it's always good to have a few in the bank, especially when "boring" things like families and mortgages will presumably come into the equation down the line and slow me down! My total includes several locations from my childhood, but they're still valid!
Tonga

About me

Travel has developed into my number one passion over the last five or six years. Simply, the more I do, the more I want to do! I have now been on two round-the-world trips and plenty of interesting holidays in between. My background is in publishing and I'm hoping to sell some travel writing, especially as I have recently been to some very far-flung locations.

What I like

Isolated and/or small countries

Warm weather!

... but also beautiful cold weather scenes

Asian cultures

Pacific islands

The sea

Mountains
Australia
Tokelau

Where I have been

2007: Italy, San Marino, Vatican, Malta, Bahrain, Thailand, Czech Republic

2006: Australia, Nauru, Kiribati, Tonga, Samoa, Tokelau, American Samoa, New Zealand, Fiji, Tuvalu, USA, Bulgaria

2005: Japan, South Korea, Japan again, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Australia

2004: Finland, Ireland, Qatar, Thailand

2003: Japan, Australia, Vanuatu, Fiji, USA, Cyprus, Egypt

2002: Norway (twice), Japan

2001: Iceland

1998: Ireland

1997: Ireland

1996: France, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Belgium, Ireland

Teens and childhood: Kenya, Nigeria, Congo, France, Switzerland, Turkey

Domestic travel: Wales, England, Scotland

Where I would like to go

In no particular order

Arctic regions esp. Greenland and Svalbard
Antarctica and Antarctic islands
To see Africa as an adult (long time there as a kid)
