Travel
I am extremely interested in travel, I would like to see all the amazing places the world has to offer. In this page I will review some of the most interesting places I have visited and the best things to do there. Because everybody travels a lot these days I will not waste your time with boring places. Most of the places I've been I would not return to so there is no point in even mentioning these here. I hope what's left is honest accurate recommendations for anybody wishing to visit these places. A complete selection of photos can be found by clicking on the "Photo Gallery" link on the left menu. I've just returned from an amazing 'Round the World' trip. This proved to myself, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the world is in fact round! My itinerary was Dublin - London - Rio - Iguazu Falls - Beunos Aires - Lima - Cuzco - Machu Picchu - Santiago - Auckland - Melbourne - Sydney - Cairns - Alice Springs - Ayers rock - Darwin - Singapore - Kuala Lumpur - Hong Kong - Macao - Seoul - Guilin - Shanghai - Xi'an - Beijing - Great Wall of China - London - Dublin. Please feel free to email me if you can add any comments or recommend some interesting holiday to me. During all my summers from College I lived and worked in different Countries as follows:
As you can see I once had an interest in Theme Parks and spent three summers working in them. Since then I have only worked in Particle Physics research institutes, (they involve less lifting kids on and off rides!!!).
