Taking on the World, One Beach at a Time

Hi, I’m Jeff, I started my travelling adventures 21 years ago when I took my first steps out of my small hometown in the North East of England to relocate to Sydney, Australia. Since then, I’ve been all over the world and have had some amazing experiences.

Some of the highlights from my travels include watching the sun rise over Angkor Wat in Cambodia, exploring the ancient ruins of Pompeii in Italy, hiking through the amazing scenery of New Zealand’s north and south islands, living for months on end on stunning beaches in Thailand, and dancing the night away at a traditional Samba club in Rio de Janeiro.

Follow my journeys, and find out how you too can live the dream of being a Global Citizen!

Travel History

After extensive travel in the early days, I have now based myself in Sydney for 6 months of the year, the rest of the time I spend in South East Asia, and Europe, follow my Blog to see some of the experiences I’ve had!
