The Beginning . Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge.
“I like mountains.” Only thing I said, when introducing myself in that mountaineering course. And now, 5 years later, 3:00 pm, here I am: in the middle of nowhere, nobody by my side, no one else knows where I am, absolutely wet on my feet, my hands are trembling; for I am stuck in this via ferrata, this narrow corridor, to the front a rock wall, on my back the vault. What on Earth was I thinking?

Whitby Abbey
Whisps of thick fog curled around my boots as I approached the base of the hill. The early morning sun did little to help with the visibility around my current surroundings. Veritably, I was left with my own sense of orientation and the landmark erected above serving as my compass.

For the Love of Italy
We arrive in Rome to a sweltering August heatwave, relieved to have booked a hotel strategically close to the train station to lessen the luggage haul. We navigate our way from airport to train station, and finally spilling into the ancient city with locals and travellers alike. Our suitcases bump and bounce along the cobblestone streets as we traverse a wide expanse of mostly crawling traffic and hoards of people to find our hotel, the Deco Roma, with a nod from the security man outside the front door. The city vibrates with music, clanking dishes, horns and chatter from languages stretching the globe. We enjoy a dinner of pasta and wine in a little canopied section directly on the street, and hit the pillow, exhausted from the six hour time change, the long travel day and the overload of our senses in this vibrant country.

A Weekend in Buxton. Top Story - May 2024.
All my life, I’ve been English in an emotional, mental, and social way, but never a physical one until the Spring of 2022 when all my Anglophile dreams came true. I was finally able to visit my soul country, meet my wonderful online friends in person, and confirm my belief that it was where I belonged.

Beautiful Debrecen
Debrecen is the second largest city in Hungary and the regional center of the Northern Great Plain region. White Rose Of The Revolution is a lovely monument that was erected in front of the University Reformed Church. It is a reminder of the 1956 attempted revolutions and those who died in the struggle. The sculpture was designed and created by Miklos Melocco, a member of the Hungarian Academy of Arts.

Jolly Old England
Some would say I’ve been very fortunate as far as travel goes, and I would have to agree. Mostly because of my jobs, I’ve visited forty-nine of the fifty states and all but two Canadian Provinces. My non-work wanderings have taken me to nine European countries and the continent of Australia. As you may have guessed by the title, one of my favorite places to visit is England.
