Travel has been my middle name since age 7, when my parents and I took the Cunard line from Buenos Aires to New York - they were not called cruises then. Since then I have been around the world at least a couple of times, for business (am a cultural manager for opera and classical music) and pleasure. My last major trip was 257 days around the world. Now, as a best-ager, am looking to fill in the many white places on my personal map. High up is an extended trip to Tromsoe, Norway to finally experience the Northern Lights.
