Who I AM
Hi, I’m Colin !
After 10 years as an engineer, I decided to take a career break and set off to travel for a while. I now explore the world full-time, taking the time to discover new horizons. I enjoy sharing my journeys with the people I meet along the way, in the hope of inspiring their future adventures. This blog is an extension of that spirit of sharing, on a broader scale.
My articles combine personal experiences, practical advice, and field stories to help you plan your own trips, hikes, and visits with ease.
I tend to make the most of my days by fitting in many discoveries. Feel free to adapt the suggested pace if you’d like to spend more time enjoying certain places.
