Are we nearly there yet?

About Me: Well past it Welsh man still pretending he's in his 20's and enjoying roughing it around different countries.

To be honest I usually prefer less plush places because you never quite know what you are going to find, whereas four and five star are oh so predictable.

Married more years than my beloved cares to remember, we live on the Yorkshire Moors in a little rather tumbledown 350 year old cottage with our 3 cats Pickle, Ultimo and Morris, and a garden usually full of wind blown, frost bitten onions, potatoes and garlic.

Completely rebelled from my Accountancy training and had a "person" focussed career working in social housing, welfare benefit administration and benefit take up campaigns, writing helpful customer service leaflets, and most recently helping people through the maze of various public services.

I'm very happy being paid a generous amount of dosh for a specialist niche job I generally enjoy. It's keeping me in the new travel experiences I have come to expect.

I have written around the web in various guises including as category lead in the travel section at Epinions.com for 5 years, Suite 101, Simonseeks and am currently enjoying being lead writer and web master at http:www.westcoast-usa-roadtrip.com
