A picture of me on a YHA tour along the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia, 1995.
My first big trip was to San Francisco when I was only 16 months old. Needless to say I don't remember a thing about about that trip, but it must have started the wanderlust. My parents (especially my mother) are avid travellers, and we often travelled cross-country during school breaks when I was a child. Both of my parents had travelled overseas before they met each other (my father lived in Paris and Algeria while working for the state department), and I think hearing their stories also sparked my desire to see the world. A sort-of life goal of mine is to set foot on every continent — so far I've been to five of the seven.
Here's a list of my trips that I intend to document on the web. Not all are linked yet, but they will hopefully be linked eventually as I find time to scan the photos. My most recent trip to New Zealand (Feb 2004)is not up yet either, but you can see Joey Chong's photos from that trip at www.joeychong.com, login salmon pwd chinooking.

My ex-boyfriend has an extensive travel diary from his first visit to the USA in 1997. It includes our trip together through California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as his own trips to Arizona, Canada, Texas, and Idaho. His website also has pictures of some historical Australian forts, and a bunch of airshow information (a big hobby of his). You can link to his website at: http://geocities.datacellar.net/aroach.geo.
