An Introduction From Nick
Dear fellow travelers,
I often talk to people about my world travels and how travel changed my life. Having been born in beautiful Santorini, Greece, and enlightened in the culturally diverse wonderland of San Francisco, I sometimes feel like the luckiest guy in the world. But it was my travels beyond these places that inspired me to create WorldTravelList.com.
In 1979, at 19 years of age, I set off from Greece on a big Europe “stomp”. Traveling by car, train, and bus – - by any cheap way imaginable – - I backpacked my way around the continent. I slept on army bases in Germany. I ran with the bulls in Spain and I came through major car accident in France unscathed. These and other adventures of that Euro-trip left me with a wanderlust that hasn’t faded, and probably never will.
In 1984, I took off on the trip that changed my life. While on the Greek Island of Ios, I met Swen and Maria from Sweden. They told me about tickets they bought in Athens, on an Bangladeshi airline I had never heard of: Biman. They had paid $280 from Athens to Bombay to Dhaka and then on to Kathmandu to Rangoon to Bangkok. After two weeks with my new Swedish friends (and many of rounds of Ouzo), I threw away my return ticket to San Francisco and join them.
It was on a beach in southern India that I found my calling. I realized my mission in life is to share travel information and resources for everyone.
The rest is history. I have been able to visit sixty-six countries in my travels. I consider myself very fortunate to have seen so much of the world. With this passion for travel at the forefront of my existence, it’s a true pleasure to assist as many people as I can to experience the world as I have.
