Welcome to my blog. A blog about cooking, planes, IT... Well off course it isn't. The title of the blog is a small give away.
After 8 years living and working in Paris, I have decide to leave behind all those croissants, pain au chocolat, pain aux raisins, patisseries and go travelling around the world. Why now? well, I am attending a wedding in Nepal the 14-15th October - yes a wedding which last 2 days, I must admit I have not asked the question why the wedding lasts 2 days, I will find this out for myself in a months time - and I have been meaning to visit Claire for a long time In NZ. So I thought why not take the time and visit the world. Well parts of it anyway. My itinerary is London-India/Nepal-Thailand-Vietnam-South Korea-Japan-Australia-NZ-Chile-Peru-Barcelona-London. My ticket is valid 12 months, lets see how long i manage before I keel over in a corner. I leave Paris the 25th Sept and head to the UK. I know not an adventurous start to my travel but I need to start somewhere. The real beginning is the 6th with my flight to Delhi.
I was not planning at first to write a blog. However as more and more people kept asking me if I was going to write one, i thought I would bow to the modern world and set up a blog. And what a opportunity for me to go on and on and on and on about anything I choose. With photos as well! For the look of the blog, I need to thank Léna for the banner she created. I think it is great!
So if you want to follow The Travelling Dan as he makes his way around the world. To know how many baseball caps have been lost so far, the type of planes flown, the food eaten or not eaten as it may be - Uhmm, maybe it is a blog about cooking and planes!!!! - plus things you may actually find interesting, this is the place to be. Come fly with me and visit often, it will be worth it.

Excellent! the blog so far is not boring, and true Lena did a great job, can't wait to see the pictures.
I must say my Parisian side is also quite honored by your blog introduction. It is actually the first time that an English man does not say: I am living Paris because Parisians are dreadful people. Like there is been a first walking in the moon, you must be the first English man not criticizing Paris and French people before he leaves the country. You are opening a tunnel of peace with this blog. Merci. Anai
Stop talking b*llocks as usual - and get on with it!!
Your good friend,
John
Hey Dan.
Will read this with interest in the coming months. Look forward to seeing you in Oxford soon.
Nick.
I'm really looking forward to reading your posts -thank you for the opportunity to be vicariously adventurous. I shall sit on my behind in Starbucks (doing nothing more daring than recklessly changing my choice of beverage) and think of you braving the perils of the big wide world... As we kiwis say : GOOD ON YA MATE!
Thanks for the tip about adding comments Dan.
You still haven't explained who the handsome chap at the top of the blog is!
But seriously, I'm really loooking forward to reading your blog.
Your mission if you decide to accept it is to try and get to a cinema on each continent.
You'd better be back in the UK my 40th Birthday next October or else!
Hey Mr.W
Vite Vite, tes premières photos sur un éléphants ou sur un tigre comme tu veux!
veg-fajitas forever! snif! snif!
