Hello! I’m Chris, and this is my blog, where I record my adventures and musings as they occur.

Why a blog? Well, in the spring of 2014 two events occurred that brought about a personal crisis: my father was admitted to a home for people with advanced Alzheimer’s, and my wife and partner of 18 years decided to leave me.

Having thus had brought home to me only too clearly how quickly we can lose everything, I was forced to figure out what I wanted to do with my allotted time, and this blog is in part an answer to that question.

Above all things I want to be a good father to my children, but in order to be that I need to live life to the fullest.  I do not want to come to the end of my life regretting those things I didn’t do. Life is too precious to waste. That is something I want to teach them, and so I will travel and experience as much as possible, and record my impressions here for all to read, and hopefully be entertained and even inspired by.

Do let me know what you think.
