Travel
Travel has been part of my life from an early age. I have lived in four countries (almost five) – South Africa, Canada, Malaysia, Sierra Leone and sort of Germany. Travelled in over 60. These posts are as varied and eclectic as travel itself, although with a bit of a rowing travel focus to many. If you would like to enjoy even more posts linked to my rowing travel company, check out the Rowing Travel Blog. But read on, there are many journeys to share.

AI for Travel Planning. Or not.
