One Man's Travel Log

One Man's Travel Log

http://grahamettridge.blogspot.com

"Oh my goodness! I'm in my late 20's, I'm single and I have done nothing with my life" was the realisation that hit me like a freight train one spring morning in 2002. My period of procrastination had to come to an end. Within a few days I had booked a trek through the Sinai desert - That's how it started, and as any avid traveller will know, once you catch the travel bug it never goes away, it just gets stronger. Each time you cross one destintation off your list, you add another two on the bottom. The desire to experience new cultures; the want to meet new people; the need to learn more about yourself....it's all just a footstep away.

I like your blog about traveling because I like to travel too. So far I traveled almost 6 cities in the US,lots of cities in the middle east, 3 cities in Asia and almost 20 airports around the world. I want to see the beauty of the world for as long as I can travel. Keep up the habit of traveling. Be a jetsetter.

Hi, I also like to travel though I'm stuck here in the confines of my own country. Not that there aren't that many places here to explore, cause there are a lot! Nice site. I hope I can travel as much as you do.

A breathe of fresh air....That's how I'll describe your blogs. I love travelling too and nothing can be more fun that knowing that you've seen a place completely different from your own and to see how life is on that side of the planet is such a wonderful feeling.

Keep blogging! Keep travelling!

I like...I like...
I try not to be a tourist when I travel. I like the back roads, the mom and pop restaurants, and the out of the way places only the locals know. I also try to stay in touch with the people I meet. I make my visit an "experience" rather than "just a visit".

I can't describe this blog any better than it reminds me of a busy terminal. You arrive, drop your overnight bag at your feet and excitedly study the different destinations. Each journey is minimum effort, maximum enjoyment - and the travel courier is one of the best! Here's to more happy travels Graham. :)
