About Me
Travel is better when it’s personal
I’m Chris, just a regular middle-aged (eek) guy who loves to travel, explore and discover places beyond the obvious. From family adventures and coastal hikes to island escapes and road trips, I enjoy getting out there, trying new things and finding the experiences that make a place memorable. This site is where I want to share the amazing places I’ve been, the wonderful things I’ve learned and the awesome adventures I’ve enjoyed and hope to inspire others to go one better – this is my honest and personal account of how I’ve experienced the World and without the usual travel brochure gloss! Please come along and explore with me one vista and one venture at a time.
