About @Gelli

44 years old • Male • Cartographer (i.e. drink beer & travel)

Welsh now living on St. Helena. Previously also lived in Eng, Ger, Slo, Liech, Switz, The Netherlands and mostly recently Sweden. Easy going/laid back. Somewhat unhinged with a warped sense of humour

Very Experienced surface traveller (I don't fly) and I travel extensively for both work/pleasure. Generally prefer to make it up as I go along, or only have a loose plan. Also getting away from the beaten track - it's much more fun.

  • Hobbies:

    Travel and more travel, meeting people when travelling, Alcohol consumption, Alcohol consumption whilst traveling, Cycling, Ski Jumping, Welsh RFU, Football, Sports in general, Music, Maps

  • Favourite places:

    Is always the next new one. Plus Bosnia-H, Catalunya, Harry's Bar, Hokkaido, Stockholm archipelago, Fez, Ulan Ude, Northern Lao, Southern Croatia and most of the Alpine area are among many favs. I love mountains, particularly with lakes etc around them.

    Having said that, Iraq in 01 and Belgrade during the bombing (both alone and almost entirely by accident) were interesting to say the least...

Ascension Island

I live on St. Helena, and everything/everybody goes through Ascension on it's way pretty much anywhere. if i don't know the answer, i 'll know many who do and can get back to you.

Ask Gelli a question about Ascension Island.

Europe

Experienced land traveller across Europe (all except Portugal, Malta, Cyprus and Iceland), CIS etc. Been travelling more or less constantly for 10 years, and do average of 150k - 200k km per year. Have lived in UK, Neth, Liech, Switz, Ger and now Swe. Don't fly, so excepting ferry portions, virtually all is train based. As i've had over 70 interrail tickets I guess that's my speciality, along with general timetable/day/night train issues etc. Also, map queries (i'm a cartographer), especially to do with London as i produce a large chunk of the public transport info for them. But I can help with virtually anything on Europe. Just ask.

Saint Helena
