A brief note about the author of this website.... 

   I am an American, born in the sixties, who now lives in England.  Simple as that...
But if you want to know more...read on.

I was born and raised in West Michigan but I haven't lived there since I was 19.  (I haven't lived in the USA since 1988 for that matter either...)

I like travelling - hence the name of this site - a bit of adventure, photography, computers, web design,  and keeping fit (trying to at least).

My career path has been (briefly):

  • U.S. Marine

  • Freelance Photographer

  • Computers, I.T.

I ended up in England by chance. I was living in Norway, then went on vacation to Egypt and met a woman. She happened to be English and the rest is history. We have a daughter ( who speaks with more of a Yorkshire accent than an American one ) and a younger son and ditto with the accent.

For a country slightly smaller than Nevada, there is a huge north / south divide in England and I have spent all of my time in England as a "Northerner" - well - no further north than West Yorkshire...  I have lived in a proper English village of only 500 people in the Peak District National Park and in one of the biggest cities in the north, Sheffield. Currently I live in a proper suburban area of West Yorkshire, and work in the I.T. industry in the 'big' cities of Leeds and Manchester.

A few extra pix here if you're interested.
