An Aussie living in Europe!

I moved my entire life to the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria in 2006 for a new job.

At the start of 2008 I decided I needed more time to travel so I've taken up a new job where I only work 40% of the year.

So for the 7months I'm not working this year, I'll be out and about somewhere in Europe. Please check my plans and if you are gonna be in the same place as me on my travels, feel free to send a message.

I love your recent NYC blog post. You essentially summed up my feeling about that city. My friends of course are shocked that I didn't like NYC, but next time I'll have them read your NYC blog.

Hope your day has been great!

Gene, have you looked at the new Wanderlust page? Your photo of Marble Bar, Australia is posted under the top 5 alien landscapes on Earth. Cool!

Toilets of the World!!
Jul 31, 2001 - Jul 29, 2008
This is my Bog Blog! Call them whatever you like: dunnies, pissers, gravy bowls, pissoirs, porcelain caves, potties, loos, crappers, dumpers, shitters, outhouses, throne, bogs, longdrops, WC's. As much as we dont want to think about it, even good looking girls have to crap every day! The vast array of toilets in the world have fascinated me for a long time. This blog will be continuously updated as long as I continue to travel the world and wake up needing to hang a dump.

Windows of the World!!
Jul 06, 2008
Windows shape so much about how we see the world – physically, mentally&sometimes spiritually. It’s more than just a hole in a wall – but a portal to another place. The worlds’ windows tell me so much about the people, their architecture and how they chose to live and view their surroundings. Here is a collection of some of the more delightful windows I’ve had the pleasure of looking through in my travels… This blog will be continually updated... Here's looking through you!

Faces of the World!!
Nov 19, 2007 - Jul 04, 2008
World -›
Just ask anyone in love what the most beautiful thing in the world is...the answer is simple. There is countless joy in staring into the faces of the people that grace this planet. I'm aways looking for an edge, and it can be anything from a cheeky grin, sparkling eye, rosy cheek, wrinkled forehead, crooked nose or any other little treasure. Then of course, let us not forget, the magic, innocence & pure beauty of a child. This blog will be continually updated as long as I face the world..
