Who took the fun out of travel?
I used to look forward to browsing and imagining new places to explore, but someone took the fun out of it.
I’ve always been a traveler - an Australian with walkabout in my bones, born in Germany, growing up in England, and I’ve been lucky enough to live and work around the world. The gift from my grandparents of a subscription to National Geographic opened my eyes to new worlds and beautiful photographs of exotic places. I’ve built up a lifetime of travel stories and a large library of old guidebooks and maps. But now I live the information part of my life online. I want access to all the content that exists, fast, and I don’t want anyone getting between me and the people I trust. I want to be able to look at beautiful travel photos on my ipad when I’m at home on the couch dreaming of my next trip, or when I’m in the hotel room working out what I want to discover today.

Aurora Borealis & the 11-Year Solar Cycle
The sun has a heartbeat. Every eleven years or so it beats, and it beats hard. This is known as the solar cycle and is measured by the number of sunspots visible on the sun. The more sunspots, the more solar flare energy is being released into space, which means more aurora activity.
After three years of “deep solar minimum” sunspot activity is finally increasing. This is the early stages of Solar Cycle 24 in which “Solar Max” is predicted for around the years 2013-2014. This means we should experience an increasing amount of aurora activity in the next few years.
