Hi, I am Simon
I wish I was a globetrotter. Instead, I worked for 10 years in
investment banking and then 8 years in a PR firm.
Nevertheless, as soon as I could I flew away to explore another little piece of world, discover
new places, encounter different people and cultures, admire
stunning sceneries.
Who am I?

In a warm day of June 2009 Wild About Travel
blog was born
It was a way to learn about blogging and social media...
... It soon became a true passion
How it started...

So... What is Wild About Travel?
The mirror of a great passion and the desire to share my
travel experiences and
emotions.
I write about the things I like: adventure, the outdoors and
wilderness, as well as art and culture. To me, the beauty of
travel is in the discovery.
It was supposed to be a way to learn about blogging and social
media...
