Welcome

Dear family, friends and the unknown reader,

I am embarking on a trip that will take me across North America from 16th July to 2nd September. During this time, I will be going to many cities in Canada and the USA: Vancouver, Calgary, Denver, Boulder, Toronto, Montreal, San Francisco, LA and San Diego.

This portfolio will be dedicated to this trip.

It will cover my travels, my visits to research institutions in Canada & the USA and reunions.  I may even share my feelings on my experiences from time to time, even though this doesn’t come easily to me.

The audience will be my family and friends.

My family are the dearest and loved ones, and those I do not yet know and am excited to have the opportunity to meet in the not too distant future.

The friends are those that I have studied with, worked with, lived with and been on great adventures with. I hope that you will be able to put yourself into one of these categories and find a reason to come back to this space for some updates.

I would be delighted to reach a larger and yet unknown audience, and hope you can use this space to get in touch with me to share your thoughts on what I will be relating herein.

I will be adding posts 2 to 3 times a week about what I have been up to and what is coming up. They will be short and picturesque, probably comprised of those pictures that say a thousand words and lots of filters.

I will be travelling on my own and don’t want to forget what is going to be a once in a lifetime trip. I am also doing this so that we all know where to find me.

I hope to see you there and/or hear from you on the way.

Matthew
