I try to be interesting

I’ve never enjoyed reading the what-I-did-on-my-holidays type of travel writing. What used to be called blogging. The articles here at least attempt to be more interesting than that - either you’ll agree or you’ll think I’m a pretentious twat.

I hate signing up for newsletters and getting bombarded every few days. I won’t do that. In 2023 I only wrote four posts. That’s one email every three months. Everyone can handle that.
