About Me.

I was born and raised in Bangor , in Northern Ireland, but very early on I knew that I wanted to spread my wings and explore pastures fresh by studying in England. After returning for a few years and going on the usual package type holidays to Spain and Greece, my first foray into more exotic locations was to Thailand in 2007, and then taking part in the working holiday schemes of both Australia and New Zealand.

My plan is to visit all UN recognised countries in the next 10 years, I'm currently on 33 so have a lot of catching up to do with some of the more experienced bloggers.

I have spent time living and working in both Thailand and Mexico and will be no doubt spending more time in both of these countries in the coming years.

About Me

Countries I have visited

Welcome to Mark's Blog - A travel lifestyle

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

T.S. Eliot

Playa Manzanilla - Oaxaca, Mexico

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in yourt sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ” - Mark Twain.

Norn Iron Nomad is a lifestyle, travel and adventure blog to show that a nomadic lifestyle is not only possible , but once you live this life you wouldn't want to live any other way!

'Norn Iron' is the affectionate term of the author's home country of Northern Ireland, and Nomad is a 'member of a people that travels from place to place to find fresh pasture for its animals and has no permanent home.'
