Having traveled over a million miles, by way of 223 cities in 48 countries just to go to work, I can attest to the life of a global nomad. I wear the title and know it quite well. Going to work for most doesn’t ordinarily require perpetual travel but for me, it always has. I’ve seen glorious landscapes from countless airplane windows and have gazed at magnificent cities in what could be a painting by a famous artist but it’s actually the view from my hotel window. I peer into the vastness of the city before me and marvel, hoping to get a moment to savor just a morsel of its offering.

Only 5 of these cities, in 5 different countries have been for holiday, hence my desire to win this contest and travel for pleasure. My cliffs-notes journeys around the globe, has left me with an insatiable desire to travel well after the work is done. I’ve always felt at home anywhere in the world. From Christchurch to Cologne, Johannesburg to Jakarta, Belgrade to Barcelona, Tel Aviv to Tulsa - home is where the hotel is and I am always happy to pack up and go.

If selected, I would like to invite all of you on my globe blogging journey, documenting each step of the way with traditional blogging and by video blogging. For those who aren’t in a position to travel or for those who may be sick and unable to travel, I’ll travel for them, bringing the world right into their living room. Experience the world as I experience it, be there with me - see it, hear it and feel it. Interacting not only with those around me locally but also with those globally. My virtual followers will now become my leaders and make suggestions of things they’d like me to do, things they want me to see and experience on my trip. I’d incorporate their virtual wishes into my travel plans so we could share the experience together.

Winning this contest isn’t for bragging rights it’s for blogging rights. Allow me to entertain you while we satisfy our constant cravings to explore and get lost somewhere in the world. Won’t you be my travel partner?
