About One Hour Tourist

I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively and often much of this has been work related where time has been limited. I learnt quickly to find ways to squeeze in an hour here and there to make sure I always got to see something new.

Life’s too short and there is so much to see so don’t be one the folks sitting in the lounge at the hotel or airport.
