I'm Jon
So, I've been thinking about doing this for years. Truth is there's always something that's stopped me doing it - whether that's procrastination, or self-doubt, or the fear of judgement. I don't know. Either way, now recognising the resistance in me, I have to do something about it.
So f**k it, face the fear, here I go... I'm Jon.
I'm a large and in-charge gay man, happily married to my beautiful husband Ashley, gluten intolerant, and absolutely obsessed with travel. I spend half of my time dreaming about holidays and experiencing the world, and the other half of the time providing hints and tips to friends and family who are travelling on what they should see and do, and how they should spend their time. I've often been asked; "Jon, why don't you write this down?" and honestly, it's not that it hasn't crossed my mind, but I've always found reasons not to.
So, I'm going to do it.
I have a map with so many pins on it, it is going to be impossible for me to go everywhere I want to in one lifetime. There are places, as a gay man, that I can't go. There are places that is more difficult as someone who is GF. Hopefully, I can share my tips and dream trips, to help someone, somewhere experience it. I'd love to think my obsessive travel planning helps someone get quality from their travel, or gives someone a new idea, or starts to build a community of fellow travellers in which we can all share tips and ideas of places to go, new experiences, and ways to travel better.
Therefore, on that note, here we go...
