What is your favorite aspect of traveling and if you are a travel blogger, why did you decide to create your website? 

My favourite aspect of travelling is the fact that every day is different and there is no set routine. I decided to create my website as I had books and books and folders of handwritten notes and travel souvenirs that needed a platform for their output to the rest of the world.

Seven

30+

What is your favorite destination in the world and why? 

Very tough question. My favourite continent is Antarctica. My favourite countries are Northern Ireland, Taiwan, China, Uruguay, Bolivia and Iran. My favourite cities are London, Belfast, Montevideo, Chongqing and Sydney. The reasons just because I have had so many happy times in those places!
