Things about me. Travelling: I live for the sweet smell of a boarding pass....whenever possible I aim to go somewhere new and do something I've always wanted to do but never done before. |

My photography : |
|
This year I fulfilled a lifelong dream and travelled over to Quito in Ecuador and then went out to the Galapagos Islands for two weeks on a boat, exploring the islands. Meeting giant tortoises, snorkeling the sea lions (for sure I was one in a past life) and turtles, watching giant ablatross...Nommie-heaven.... |
|
Last year I went over to Djibouti in East Africa, at the bottom of the Nile, especially to snorkel with the whale sharks. The country was beautiful, un spoilt by tourism and the seas were crystal clear. Sleeping out on deck while the fish leapt and the whale sharks circled was incredible. |
|
Earlier in the year I went up to the Northern coast of Norway to snorkel with the orca (killer whales) who live there during winter. No, although I may well resemble a tasty seal, I didn't get eaten - I'm still here (I think!) |
|
The year before I trekked in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, Colorado and Utah. My first sight of the Grand Canyon was in a helicopter flying over the edge. But there were so many other wonders on that trip - Bryce National Park, Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon and crazy Las Vegas - where I saw Elton John in Caesars Palace - front row seats! And then fell off the Stratosphere Tower (in a harness).. |
 |
I also recently visited Lapland...and saw the northern lights from the middle of a frozen lake in the Arctic Tundra land, went husky sledding and stayed the night in the famous Swedish Ice Hotel. |
|
The year before I fulfilled a safari dream by going camping in Namibia and South Africa and walked in the red dunes of Sossusvlei and saw the wondrous safari animals of Etosha National Park at incredibly close quarters. Walking with elephants at sunset in South Africa was one of the very special-est moments of my life... |
 |
I've also been to Guatemala and Belize and Java and Bali both equally wonderful. Particular highlights were swimming with stingrays and sharks - and meeting a manatee on Christmas day! |
|
Other adventures of mine include 3 months in India and Nepal (the flight around Mount Everest being a highlight, and I will always remember the crazy wonders of India and the nail-biting bald-tyre style of Himalayan travel...And yes, I am 'boring' and 'singling'! |
|
I spent 3 months in Australia - snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef and night walking in the Rainforest. A highlight of New Zealand was going black water rafting in the caves of Waitomo. And the Cook Islands were just tropical island heaven on earth. |
|
I've cycled around Ireland (and swam with Funghi the dolphin many times in the freezing Irish waters), camping with tent on the back of the bike, and explored remote parts of the UK. |
|
I loved Portugal and the volcanic region of Central France. I could go on for ages... but there is so much more to see. |
