Here is the new formulation: ” R L Stevenson wrote that “ to travel is the greatest affair”. I have been very fortunate to have had professional and private opportunities to travel globally from the age of 6 onwards. Some of my travels have been recorded in diaries and digitally, but by no means comprehensively. I propose to record on this platform whatever travel-related memories occur. Hopefully, they might be of interest to like-minded travellers.”
