Real Talk – Real Travel

The real ramblings of a real bald bloke.

AI is getting concerningly powerful… Funny though – Credit to www.suno.com for this stupid theme song.

A Bald Bloke Abroad

Hi, welcome to my blog – a place for me to ramble on about travel, and perhaps some other stuff too. Join me, the bald bloke, as my wife and I get ready for our six-month sabbatical. I hope to share our journey in a way that’s more relatable than much of what’s online these days. Here, you won’t find advice about making money abroad, sales pitches for online courses, or see invitations to join any cultish groups of wealthy nomads… I promise!
