If you're reading this blog for the first time...

In 2008, I left my job in high-tech communications to travel the world for a year, taking photographs and writing about my experiences. While traveling, I updated this educational weblog with weekly photos, as well as historical and cultural information, about the places I visited.

If you're reading this blog for the first time, the following overview posts may be helpful to you:
