Legend:
The red dot is where I live and hail from.
Pink dots are places I've worked in and written about.
Blue dots are places I've visited and written about.
Green dots are places I've visited, but haven't got around to writing about yet.
I've found that travel is extremely addictive.
I started out as a young thing of almost-14 years old going on a six-week exchange trip to Tahiti. At 18 it was a 4-week study trip to Paris; a mere year later it was 4 weeks to New Caledonia. And from there it was a long slippery road...

Having finished my uni studies, I spent December '99 and January '00 on a tour of the USA and Canada.
I came home only to take up an assistant teaching contract in New Caledonia. I lived and worked there for seven and a half months in 2000.
In 2001, I spent a week down in Fiordland, New Zealand.
Then I went to Korea to teach ESL again -- for two years, as it turned out, June 2001-2003. This link has some notes of the first few months I was there. I lived in Bucheon but frequently visited Seoul, and also made it to Daejeon and, my favourite city of the country, Gyeongju.
On holiday, I took a four-day package tour to Beijing. After completing my second year in Korea, I decided on a tour of Mongolia, Thailand, and Kyoto on the way home.
Next, in September 2003, I went on a road trip for a couple of weeks with my father, touring the North Island of New Zealand and visiting many second cousins. (Off-site link, to my family's homepage.)
Finally -- so far -- a two-week trip in June 2004 to the Netherlands.
