Gday, and welcome to DigiDrift.com. Thanks for taking the time to visit my site. I suppose you’ve come to this page to learn a little more about myself, and what the DigiDrift travel blog is all about. In short, I put the site together based on three great passions of mine. Those three passions being, travel, photography and technology.
The name DigiDrift came about during a personal brain storm back in 2009, and is based around the theme of the three passions as described above. Over the past 20 years, my travels have taken me to a vast and diverse array of destinations, on this chaotic and somewhat imperfect planet of ours. Some people say it’s a small world, but if there’s one thing I’ve come to learn throughout my travels, and that’s just how enormous it really is.
The DigiDrift Travel Motto. What’s It All About?
Whilst overlanding through Africa many years ago, I came up with my travel motto. ‘The more you see, the less you’ve seen!’. Some people understand it’s meaning straight away, whilst others do ponder over it a little.
Basically it translates to, the more of the world you experience, the bigger you come to realize it actually is. Thus bringing you full circle, and to the conclusion that you haven’t really seen that much at all. From which the infinite loop starts over again, as you strive to see more (confused yet?).
After many years of travel through almost 100 countries (more info on what defines a country), I had begun to amass a great number of photo’s, as well as many tales of the adventures I’ve found myself in, along this life journey.
What I Hope To Bring To The Table
Through future posts to the blog, I hope to share with you an insight into what I’ve experienced, and learned throughout my many years of travel. I will also post other general travel related articles, that will hopefully ignite your passion and desire for adventure.
Hopefully I’ll also give you a bit of a laugh now and then, and maybe to stir up a bit of discussion from time to time. More importantly though, I hope to inspire others to find that sense of adventure, and to take that path less traveled. If you like what you see here, then you can subscribe to my RSS feed for future updates, or subscribe via Email and get future posts delivered straight to your inbox. I can also be found on Twitter or Google Plus.
As they say in the classics, it’s all about the journey and not the destination.
Safe travels….

Greetings from Armenia!Glad our paths cross on-line and who knows maybe somewhere “on the road” in the future. Thought I’d stay here 12 days but decided to extend it to the last day of my 21 day visa before heading to Georgia. Your one-liner about travel is like defining wisdom- the wiser you become the more your realize how little you know. never been self-disciplined enough myself to write a regular daily or dependable blog but always coming across one like yours or Wades or Andy’s is always a pleasure
Hey Bill, Thanks for stopping by mate, it’s always nice to hear from people traveling in some far away land. The motto is something I truly believe in and don’t worry about not keeping a blog. I never documented to much about my travels until a couple of years ago, except for the photos I’ve taken along the way. I’m sort of mad at myself for not writing more down, and taking more notes on what I’ve seen and done over the years.
As we get older, the memories do start to fade, but in the words of a famous modern day traveler ‘Wojceich Dabrowski’. In the end ‘No one can take away what you’ve seen, or what you’ve experienced’. Thanks for stopping by, and good luck for the rest of your travels.
Indeed, the more I see the more I realize I haven’t seen. But also the more I realize that it’s not possible to see it all.
Hey Roy, Yes it quite the conundrum, and I completely agree you can’t see it all, but I will try and see as much as I can before I depart this earth.
Jason,
Looks like you’ve got a boatload of good content on this site. I’m glad you posting all of this stuff from all your experiences… Cheers man!
PS Was looking for a contact form or email address but couldn’t find one… help?
Hey Ryan, Thanks for that mate. I suppose I’ve seen and done a bit over the years, and I’m enjoying sharing the experience with others, and hopefully motivate a few people along the way.
There’s a contact form on the bottom of the page. Just send me an email, and If I can help in anyway I will. Thanks mate.
