Nationality - Welsh

Age - 40

Job (b4 the Trans) - Independent Financial Advisor


Introduce yourself !!

Well what do you want me to say... not the normal Boring Financial advisor, in fact me being here should give that away. I have a great desire to see as much of the world as possible, and the best way to see that real side of life, people and places is on a budget. I believe in Karma, treat people as you want to be treated. Try and look after the environment and people as much as Possible.

Single and likely to move from Swansea to hopefully work abroad, and I would class Sydney as my 2nd Home, hopefully to be my 1st home at some time in my life, and I would say going to Aus in 94 was a life changing experience and I really regret not going earlier, ever since I have had the travel bug, same as almost all my fellow travelers.!

 

 

 


Why do the trans Africa - a wild place?

For a different experience, I've done some independent travel but  not a vast amount. This seemed to be a relatively simple yet different and exciting way to see Africa. I realize that I will get more out of it the more I put into it.( As our lord and master Graham like to say). This my birthday present to myself.


What are you plans afterwards?

Not sure, I may visit friends in Houston, and/or hit friends in Sydney. or just head to South America.!


Your favorite Travel location so Far?? any why ?

For Beauty it would be Queenstown (south island NZ), at the top of the gondola that looks over 3 lakes, it was a magical day when the sun was shinning, it was one of those rare moments when it comes together, an ideal place to take your lady for a special occasion

Interesting Fact(s) about Nigel?

At the Morocco/Mauritania border camp, a couple of locals asked how we were going to get the camel through customs.  They were aghast to learn that the said noise was due, not a tethered camel, but to my super-human nocturnal nasal powers.
