Lucky enough to have been able to retire early after a career in engineering and computers, I have now spent over 10 years on the road and over a quarter million miles.

2012 Update

So here we are in 2012, waiting for the world to end. Maybe!

After Morocco our lives changed dramatically, and I just didn't have so much desire to blog about my home country, others do it better.

We spent a fantastic 6 months in the UK, introducing Luda to my family and friends, finally! It all went so quickly! She absolutely loved it, and all my folk love Luda.

At the end of the 6 months we decided to spend the winter in Thailand. So the van is laid up in a farmers field in Wales, hibernating! We were not ready for another winter in the van - the engine needs work before we travel far again.

Now we are back on the Thai island of Koh Phangan. Luda is studying more yoga, and I am a beach bum.

Now that Luda has finally succeeded in visiting the UK, we are planning to return this summer to get married. That means yet another visa! So next month we are off to Bangkok. This time we have a lawyer on the case, and are hoping for a smoother time.

Then we will resume our adventures as man and wife ..... or maybe we'll just get a place and call it home. Four years on the road ....... just maybe it's time for some stability.

Or maybe not. Once you travel, it gets under your skin. When travelling you dream about a permanent home, when you stay in one place, you dream about travelling!!

Time will tell.
