Well, for starters I am currently overseas with my wife and three children and have some time on my hands (parents - spot the in-joke!). Writing is weirdly enjoyable for me. Kind of a comfort space. True to form, I've found something to cling to in these uncertain times.

Secondly, I feel that blogging has peaked. So what better time to dabble in the art before it becomes another outdated medium of communication! Maybe even contribute to its demise.

Thirdly, there's my ego...and the compelling need to document my hardships.

But most importantly, I hope that my shared experiences will help support my fellow kindred spirits who just want to be left alone at home. Whether I can further validate this desire for them (stay home, stay safe!) or whether they need some commonality as they are thrust into the realm of reluctant travellers themselves - regardless of the need, let me be your pillar of strength.
