So What's All This Then




I've been a lot of places.  The map up there represents most of the places I've been in my life, however briefly.  I enjoy travel, and have been fortunate enough to have been able to do a lot of it both for work (I'm an astronomer) and for pleasure. Faced with a massive amount of travel in 2015 I started referring to the various trips as the "World Stupendathon Tour" on Twitter.  2016 looks to have a similar amount of travel, and so I figured I'd start this blog to share some of the thoughts that are too long for Twitter. I'm not sure what I'll do with the blog, though I imagine it'll be a mix of what I'm up to and past trips. Maybe a post on my thoughts about Johannesburg followed by pictures from Singapore or something. I don't currently have a place to talk about science (I do have another blog, but it's for music/poetry), it's possible I'll have some science posts as well.

Anyhow, welcome to the blog.  Let's see what happens.
