My blogs

I blog for fun and out of passion. I love social media and the power of crowdsourced information gathering or dissemination. Blogging takes up most of my spare time, and no wonder people sometimes loose track of what is where, and where is what.

So, here is a short overview of all my blogs and websites:

1. My blogs

• My House on The Road
  ...is really my home page. It shows the latest feeds from all my sites, as well as the feeds from a selection of other news sites I follow constantly.
  
  
• The Road to the Horizon
  ... is my main blog. This is where it all started. On "The Road" I publish my travel short stories, news commentary, bits and pieces of things I pick up as I live my life as an expat, a traveller, and an aidworker.
