G'day! I'm a Sydney-based retired engineer with a passion for gardening and exploring the world. 🌏 Born in '49, I speak English and Tamil, and I'm always up for an adventure. From the iron ore train ride in Mauritania to Antarctica, I've embraced every moment. I'm on a mission to visit more than 100 countries (currently at 89) and I love national parks, ruins, and train travel.
