About Me
I’m Marc, a retired chemist who swapped lab coats for luggage tags. After decades of analysing reactions and solving problems, I now spend my time exploring the world at a slower, more enjoyable pace.
Travel gives me the same curiosity I had in the lab — new places, new cultures, new puzzles to figure out. I’ve also developed an interest in web design, which is why this site exists: a place to experiment, learn, and share the photos and stories from my journeys.
Whether it’s a quiet mountain trail or a bustling city street, I love capturing the moments that make travelling feel alive.
