Bruce Springsteen may have been born to run, but I was born to travel. Travel the world.
I’ve ploughed my way through eight passports, visiting over 150 countries along the way. International travel is the itch that I just have to scratch. And now it has led me to The Itchy Passport, a blog filled with travel memoirs from my intercontinental wanderings.
For decades my adventures have yielded a trove of tales; a mixture of travel experiences, quirky facts and whimsical observations. Often I’ve been urged to gather them together. I’m not a professional travel writer, just a passionate traveller. When not travelling the world, Sydney is my home.
So here are the tales, freed from the recesses of my computer. I hope you enjoy them.
Welcome to The Itchy Passport.
Still travelling,
