Journeys of a lifetime
Born in the ’60s, I am part of Generation X. Travel is the common thread of my existence, woven through my family environment, my professional career, and my hobbies.
39 years of experience in the transport sector
I worked for nearly four decades in the transport sector, from night trains to aviation. Through this blog, I want to share this unique travel experience with you, through my stories, practical advice, and reflections.
Welcome to my blog,
