Ever in
search for a quicker way to get to Asia, Christopher Columbus set sail from
Spain several times during the 1490’s in search of Oriental treasures; instead
he headed west discovering the New World of Central America and coining the name
Hispaniola – now known as the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Fast forward
more than 500 years and budget airlines have solved Chris C’s biggest
travelling dilemma, yet the world renowned globe trotter is back on earth to
continue on his journey of discovery – 21st century style.
Finding that
all that remains of his beloved Santa Maria is her anchor on display at a
museum in Haiti, Chris C has been left with no choice but to use more modern
forms of transport to fulfil his quest to tour the new exciting lands which
make up planet earth.
No longer
able to rely on a map, compass and a good pair of sea legs, Big C has joined
the technology revolution and thanks to his laptop and smart phone is able to
access travel information from even the most remote of locations.
Not only
that, but thanks to travel guide website Toowist
Chris C is learning new tips and advice wherever he goes from fellow travellers
whose guides feature on this revolutionary site. In fact, with almost 30,000
guides for everywhere from Alaska to Zanzibar, Chris will be hard pushed not to
find a guide written by travellers for travellers which will suit his needs.
In this blog
Chris C will share his views on experiencing the world anew as he comes to
grips with everything from the modern layout of cities he thought he knew well
to new, previously unfound, lands.
Of course
the big question remains… will Big C ever make it east and if so what will he
make of the modern version of this ‘promised land’? To answer this question you
will need to read on!
