I have been travelling on and off since the late 70’s
Originally from Otago, New Zealand and driving trucks around most of New Zealand on livestock, fertilizer, wool, hay, logs, freight and most other variations of the transport industry.
I lived and worked in Australia and UK and have spent time driving Road Trains and heavy earth moving machinery in Australia and Double Decker tour buses in Europe covering almost all of Europe, Morocco, Syria, Jordan, Across Iran to Pakistan, India and to Nepal.
Since then I have done trips to Canada, Europe, UK, Singapore, Fiji, Australia, USA. I may be getting older and slower and still enjoy travel.
