Hello!

Hello, I’m Mark and welcome to my personal blog

You could describe me as your typical Road Warrior.

Working for a large multi national company, armed with my iPhone, ThinkPad, company car and corporate credit card, on any given day I could be anywhere in the world hence the title Corporate Nomad

I genuinely love to travel so when I am not working, you may well find me traveling to various destinations, camera in hand and often dragging the rest of my family behind me.

I enjoy taking photos when I travel but would still consider myself a traveler first and a photographer second.

If I'm not traveling then BBQ is my second love. All day meat smoking, a quick burger or all points in between. If it has legs, I am more than happy to throw it on top of some charcoal.

Working in IT I also have an unhealthy interest in technology and gadgets as well as cars

So it would be easy to think of this as a travel blog but it's more than that. It's really a place for me to share my experiences and thoughts on just about anything. Pictures I have taken, reviews of places I have eaten at or slept. Videos or articles I have found online. New BBQ kit I have bought. You get the idea

The words are my own (not my employers) so have a look around and please feel free to leave a comment or Two
