About

Hi! I’m Chris.

I started this blog in 2010 to share my travels – both past adventures and future fantasies.

I blame my boss. He shared a tweet about an upcoming 20 year peak for the Northern Lights, and I just had to go. It timed nicely with a reason to celebrate (begone foul cancer). And I learnt how to take some night photos (on the second attempt, anyway).

And given that I was approaching 50 and had not yet been to London, Paris or a Hawaiian volcano at sunrise, it was time to start ticking off items on my bucket list. I’m an IT nerd, so logically I built a site.

I’ve done lots of things from my list now, and there’s still time for more.

We’re trying to be a bit more eco, restricting flights to every 5 years, where possible. So there are more Australian adventures, using electric cars and bikes. At home we minimise our footprint with our own tank water, electric car/mower/bikes and growing our own vegies. But we still adventure – driving up to the Whitsundays for sailing adventures or inland for bike trips. It’s hard to beat a good beach or kayaking trip in Australia. I’d love to hear about your bucket lists and adventures.

Remember – it’s never too late for adventure. xx
