Welcome to this blog featuring my musings as a middle-aged global traveller, serial expat and culture lover. I share my experiences exploring the roads less travelled as well as diverse stories from my current home base in Arabia and many adventures around the world. Also, hear my conversation with amazing innovators, entrepreneurs, policymakers and trailblazers in the worlds of science, business, tech, the arts and design.

Come along for the journey. Glad to have you.
