TRAVEL I love to travel - anyhow, anywhere, anywhy!   40+ years of travel, for business and pleasure 40+ countries experienced 40+ airlines flown 40+ ski resorts enjoyed   I am a Travel Lover, a Travel Writer and a Travel Leader! I am a Kiwi and a Europhile!   I am also a Personal Travel Companion (PTC) - and I am keen to escort you on a trip of a lifetime!       San Sebastian, Spain                                                                                                   Lucerne, Switzerland A small taste of my memorable travel moments through the years: I’ve backpacked around Turkey (before tourists discovered it), managed conferences in the USSR (in the Soviet era), wandered the medinas in Morocco, skied perfect powder in Japan and downhill slopes in the USA, stepped into another era on the Orient Express, got myself happily lost in Venice, been mesmerised by Niagara Falls, seen Nureyev dance in Paris, folk-danced in Bulgaria, contemplated lives lost in Norfolk Island and watched London evolve into an ever-greater city. I've enjoyed pintxos in Basque Country, stollen at Christmas markets in Germany, streetfood in Asia, seafood at fishing villages in Portugal and sipped wine in vineyards everywhere. I've been on thrill rides at Disneyland, snorkelled in the Great Barrier Reef, strolled the promenade in Mallorca, stood in Red Square at midnight, ice-skated in St Moritz, smashed plates in Greece, had white-knuckle taxi rides in Sicily, walked gingerly up the Leaning Tower, and boarded down sand-dunes at 90-mile-beach. I was inside the Kremlin, Moscow when Brezhnev died and I've stared in disbelief at where the Twin Towers once stood in NYC. I've survived extreme heat in Dubai and searing cold in Quebec. I've explored Sofia, Shanghai and San Sebastian.   I've viewed the world from mountaintops, been in deserts, lazed on tropical islands, marvelled at chateaux, cruised past glaciers, rambled through native bush. I've explored iconic cities, ambled through tiny villages, driven many miles on roads around the world and discovered hidden treasures off the beaten track. I've seen fabulous sunsets and bright full moons from many places and contemplated life from many vantage points. Stewart Island in NZ is the furthest south I have been; St Petersburg is the farthest north. The Northern Lights, way up in Lapland, is on my bucket-list. There are many more memorable experiences in my travel history ... and many more to come. Perhaps some of them will be with you!
