I was in Panama city for over a week during the recent ICANN meeting. However due to the schedule I only got glimpses of the host city in the evening when joining friends for dinner or drinks. Today I was again in Panama city, as I’d ended up with my return flight to Europe being […]
One of the things I love about travel is exploring the local cuisine. In some parts of the world that culinary adventure might involve highly refined restaurants, but in other parts of the world it’s much more rustic and down to earth. In Puerto Rico you quickly discover that roast pork is high on the […]
I logged quite a few flights during 2017, though less than other years. I posted a static image of my flights during 2017 recently, so here’s a slightly more interested animated version from App in the Air: It looks pretty cool and seems to be in the right order, which is both cool and kind […]
Since getting back from Las Vegas in January I haven’t been travelling. I’ve been focussed on moving house and settling in as well as spending time at Blacknight HQ. That all ended Friday. I’m now on the road until the end of the month. 3 trips, 3 weeks, multiple countries. First up is ICANN 58 […]
2016 was yet another crazy year for travel for me. I clocked up nearly 250 thousand km over the year! So where the hell was I? This map shows it all: A lot of the flights were to the US, which is fairly normal, as there a lot of events over there. 2016 was also […]
Last night I had dinner with a couple of friends in one of the hotel’s restaurants. Although I’m in Jordan the restaurant was Lebanese, but it’s still in the same region (more or less). The food was excellent and most of what we had we simply shared “family style”. One of the things that really […]
I spent all day yesterday travelling. The flights and everything else were fine, but by about 9 PM local time last night I was completely confused. It was 9pm in Vegas, but 5am in Ireland! So sitting down for a relatively light dinner around the time that some people might be thinking about getting up […]
I spent a week in Istanbul, though I only really got to explore the city for two days. The city is fascinating. It’s also incredibly big, so unless you’re prepared to walk a lot you won’t get to see that much! I spent the Saturday and Sunday I was there exploring some of the sights […]
I’m in Belgrade, Serbia, for about 24 hours as I’m speaking at an event here tomorrow. Across the street from the hotel there’s a Costa Coffee so I headed over there to grab a bite to eat and a coffee. I’m always fascinated by the difference in pricing between various countries and how much value […]
I grew up on the west coast of Ireland only a few miles from the Burren region. It’s a beautiful part of the world and has a lot of history. Nowadays I live in Carlow, which is in the southeast of Ireland. It too has history, but even though I’ve been living here for 10 […]
