Hi, I am Jonathan,

I live in Reading in the United Kingdom. I enjoy travelling independently.

Since 2003 I have been travelling in Europe quite regularly and preference to visit countries, where tourists do not visit very often. I like to travel to places "off the beaten path".

I do not consider myself as a tourist, but as a guy who wants to seek the local life of the countries I visit. I use public transport where I can and arrange to meet up with local people. I use on line organisations like "Couch Surfing" and the erstwhile "Virtual Tourist" from these I have made many friends in several countries.

I like looking at architecture, art, and vintage transport including railways.

I also enjoy listening to live music and buying CDs directly from the musicians.

In return I am happy to show travellers my local town, London and other cities in the UK.

I am planning to visit Nashville next March as well as my European and UK travels in 2018.

I also plan to create my own blogging page to share information with others.
