About this blog

I left the Basque Country, having lived there for several years. I felt it was time to see more of the world - no other, deeper reason I'm afraid.

The plan is to fly to New York, then head west, then turn south and see what happens from there. I can't really be more specific than that as "plans" keep changing.

Let's see how it all pans out...
