The following is an incomplete list of the countries and places I've visited.

I have an Australian passport and accent.

  • Canberra - Where I was born and lived for 23 years
  • Queanbeyan - Right next to Canberra
  • Yass - On the way to Bathurst from Canberra
  • Cowra - On the way to Bathurst from Canberra. Often the spot where we met my Nana.
  • Goulburn - On the way to Sydney from Canberra
  • Sydney - Hub for my international travel
  • Bathurst - My family on my mother's side live around here
  • Mudgee - My mother grew up here
  • Batemans Bay - We used to go here a lot in summer when I was little
  • Batehaven - I've been through here a few times
  • Wollongong - The goal of a road trip with Aubs, Gould, Box and Richard Nolan
  • Griffith - Family
  • Brisbane - My family on my father's side live around here. I was at Expo '88 too!
  • Adelaide - Visited it when I was too young to remember

I've visited New Zeland twice: both times purely for skiing.

  • Queenstown (where the hotel was)
  • Wanaka (gateway to the ski resort of Treble Cone and near a cool place called Puzzle World)

I probably know more about Europe than Australia! I have arrived in Europe twice, once in 1995 and the other time in January 2004. Both times via aeroplane, originating in Australia and landing in Frankfurt.

I have a work visa for Germany, but I'm restricted to a single, specific company.

  • Vienna - I've been here twice, once on the way to Bratislava and the second time with Janek, where I got food poisoning
  • Innsbruck - I stayed here and skied nearby. It was a ski package with "Radio Energy", Germany's "Number One" Radio station

I've been to Switzerland once. I was with Andrew Blyton at the time.

Andrew Blyton and I were 'ere.

I've been here three times. Once by myself to Venice (on the train ride back, I met my girlfriend) another time on a trip with Sascha, with San Marino and Monaco as the goals and lastly to Rome (and the Vatican).

  • San Sebastian - My family and I were here for a week in 1995 while my Dad attended and spoke at a conference
  • Girona - Landed here from Frankfurt Hahn with my parents
  • Barcelona - Was here for a few minutes in a hire car with my parents, which was robbed while we were stopped at some traffic lights
  • Barnes - On the Costa Brava, licked our wounds from the robbery here
  • Pobla de Segur - Tato, a family friend, lives here
  • Olot - Town in the Pyrenees
  • Lisbon - I was here for Christmas 2004

I have never really planned on visiting Belgium. It's always been an in-between stop! I've actually been in a couple of places in Belgium, but I don't remember their names.

I have a work visa for the UK due to the fact that my grandfather was born in England.

Was here for a while. Went to a nice swimming area.

  • Riga - cheap public transport
  • Zagreb - only here for one day

I have only visited the USA once: in 1998 on a working holiday package.

  • Bangkok - Shopping, shopping, shopping
  • Surin - Came, saw the elephants, left

I left from and returned to Sydney.

  • Antalya - Landed here on the 26th March 2005 and flew from here on the 1st of April 2005.
  • Alanya - Stayed in an all inclusive hotel situated on the beach for 7 days.
  • Aspendos - Home of an old Ampitheatre

I left from and returned to Nuremberg.
