Wayne's World
Who am I?
Perhaps it is told easier through a few pictures and captions as I write too much anyway.
Admittedly, I found this page somewhat painful to create.
I'm
not photogenic and seeing myself in a mirror everyday is quite enough.
|
Speaking of mirrors... |
There are many countries I don't have a photo of myself
in. Perhaps 1/3 of them.
Partially as a result of frequent solo travel, and
partially because I don't care. I'm too busy having fun and learning.
When I want to see the big picture, I change perspectives! |

Janeiro, Brazil |
|
My optimistic attitude helps me cross bridges.
Coast is clear here. |
"A picture only says a thousand words." |
|
I multitask pretty well, but I only have two arms.
|
I don't breathe fire like Godzilla |
|
I'm an avid cyclist |
When in doubt, I hang on for dear life!! |
|
It's just a matter of pressure sometimes. |
Looks can be deceiving. It looks fun, but riding an elephant isn't all its cracked up to be. I got quite dizzy as did my bench mate. Holding on is a tiresome too. Chiang Mai, Thailand |
I enjoy discovering quaint hideaways like the Tiny Corner
beer bar. |
And good cheap eats like this cafe around the
corner from my hotel. |
|
I make friends easily. (Helps to have deer
biscuits) It's the totem animal after all too. They are on all the manhole covers. |
On the surface life can be complex, Observing one of our tour driver's devotion to Islam/Mecca was inspiring. |
|
Ok, ok, some people have called me a techie. |
Sometimes I like the new, other times I'll take
the tried and true. |
|
I can't draw, so I'll leave that to the more
talented. |
I do alright finding deserted beaches though.
|
|
If I respect you, will you respect me? |
Sometimes life is war. I'm ready for battle. |
|
Peace is better, but as I said above, not always
the answer. |
I conquer some fears by eating them
- literally. |
|
I can rough it and make do with simple accomodation,
as long as it's clean! |
Sometimes I fend off giant, strange creatures. |
|
Nothing just happens - it has to be - planned |
It's done wonders for Singapore. |
|
I like to learn about our planet. |
I really enjoy scuba diving and kayaking. |
|
Sometimes I like the big city. When
it gets too much - |
I head for the less trampled. Especially in the
middle of a civil war. |
|
Timing is important. Like getting early to Besakih
Temple - avoid heat/crowds |
Sometimes vistas like this appear while venturing to do something else - scuba. Bali Island, Indonesia |
...and that's me in a nutshell.
