GREETINGS FROM GARRY AND ANDREW. WE'RE TWO AUSTRALIANS WITH A LIFE-LONG PASSION FOR TRAVEL. JOIN US AS WE SHARE OUR ADVENTURES AROUND THE WORLD AND HERE AT HOME.
About Me
- Swatch
- Andrew and Garry relocated to London from Sydney, Australia in 2005; before retracing their steps in 2011. For five years they called the London suburb of Swiss Cottage home. That's how this blog got its name. Andrew once dedicated his life to roaming the globe, sometimes for pleasure, but usually for business. There's an ozone hole up there with his name on it. These days he maintains this blog in retirement, weaving his life story through many of its posts.
