My name is Brendon and I am a China travel addict!!!
My father was an Austrian Gypsy who spent most of his adult life travelling around the world so I grew up on a diet of stories about mysterious and exotic far flung locations. No surprise that I ended up studying travel at university and finally graduated with a Master of Tourism degree that was twice delayed by trips abroad.
I am an Australian and grew up in Victoria’s mountain country. Received my first exposure to Chinese culture (and all other cultures that a country kid never hears bout) when moving to Melbourne to attend university. One thing led to another and I am now on my third trip to China, a trip that has so far taken 8 years and still has no end in sight.
