When I left University and planned to leave my home country, Australia, and travel to Canada, my grandmother told me: “Now your education will begin”.
Education is a lifelong occupation for someone with unending curiosity. But sharing travels with another- and the learning that comes with it - lets you relive the magic and the adventure. You can look back on shared experiences, shared laughter and shared friendship – lingering in memory a little longer amongst the people who have helped build your life.
I now live in a fairytale Schloss (something between a mansion and a castle) which I share with the occupants of the other five apartments into which it is divided - in a charming wine city on the River Rhine, in Germany. In the past I have lived in other interesting places and have travelled to many more - always with one constant companion: a camera. My goal is to share with you some of those discoveries.
Perhaps here at discover-interesting-places you may enjoy a new perspective on some old favourites – or discover somewhere new – either as an armchair traveller from wherever you are reading this, or by going there yourself to make your own memories.
Come with me. Share my adventures. Meet some interesting people. Smile at the whimsical; ponder the philosophical – but travel with me lightly… for we have many places to enjoy together. I hope you will be fascinated, captivated, charmed – and make some memories of your own.
Come back often. There are always more interesting places to read about – updates are regular. We even offer travel discounts.
Without me travelling any more or taking any new photos, my existing library is enough for us to travel together to somewhere new every week …and I am always travelling – and somehow capturing a small insight into the soul of the places where I go.
I hope you will be a constant and welcome visitor. I’m glad to have you as a travelling companion.
