More about londone7
Ex Commercial Insurance Underwriter (back again now) and Global Backpacker... Originally from Toronto but spent almost half my life in England before that...
In my 40s I have been backpacking since 2003 doing 1-2 big trips per year (Western Europe, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Turkey, Middle East, China & SE Asia) before I decided to move to Asia in 2010 and start a blog.
I have a love for travelling and like to travel, explore, and discover the World tasting new foods, learning languages, acquiring new musical sounds, and many biking adventures!... I have an interest in Islamic history, culture, and visiting Muslim minorities... as well as other Ethnic Cultures, Royal Palaces, Temples and Places of Worship, Ancient Civilizations, Folk Cultures, Transit Systems, Unesco and historical sites relating to History, Empire, Monarchies, and their historical and architectural legacy. Also love ex Soviet Union, ex Yugoslavia, and Scandinavia.
My main blog was "Adventures in Daegu and Beyond" (where I blogged for TheKoreaBlog and had over 35,000+ views) explored life living and working in Korea with many weekend trips to festivals, towns, and other cultural sites in Korea. I was featured in various local media and Arirang Korean English TV News about my blog, travels, time in Korea, and being selected as a writer for TheKoreaBlog.
The City of Daegu chose me as one of two official foreign bloggers and I also have the title of Jeju Ambassador for the New 7 Natural Wonders Campaign and Committee Member. (I have now left Korea after 3 years overseas and am back in Toronto).
The other blogs cover the many side trips I have taken in Asia and previous expeditions
I like to travel, explore, and discover the World...
