This is Treks to Nowhere. For as long as I have known, I have had an unyielding pull to the faraway, to the remote, to the inaccessible. At my very core I have had an almost instinctual fascination with peculiar, and often quirky locations and geographical oddities. Here I will revisit my various adventures and travels to these unique and remote locations.
