Having visited 310 of 1,500 'MTP Locations' ranks me the 783rd most traveled person in the world in the @MostTraveled app... I like how the MTP app doesn't just do countries (I visited 62 of 193), but splits them up into regions, making a better map. How do you rank? #MTP

This may be a long shot, but both #Aurora chances and weather are GO for a Northern Lights hunt in #Oxfordshire tonight! The #Ridgeway may be a good place to go… Wish me luck! #AuroraUK

Very much enjoyed the two lectures about the physics and physicists of the Northern Lights by Prof. @glennnpatrick yesterday and today! Now hoping we can put our learnings into practice shortly! #AuroraHunting

Apart from the specific question, the ethical discussion about cruise destinations is good to have. Do you ever consider the ethical - including environmental, social and economical - impact of your cruise destinations? #cruise

Three weeks into the new year and I have already taken three flights, including a trip on the newly configured 4-class @klm Boeing 787-10, my first ever 787-10 flight! #AvGeek

Getting off the 750th flight of my life last night. 🛬 How do I know? Well, I have kept a record of all my flights since my first flight in 1981, as many aviation geeks do… A little thread… 🧵 #Avgeek

My first flight was on this NLM (now @klm Cityhopper) Fokker F27 ‘Friendship’ on a domestic flight in the Netherlands, in July 1981 What was your first flight? #Avgeek

How did I celebrate flight 750? By enjoying an extra bag of free crisps with my water in @British_Airways economy. None of that business or first class stuff you see so much in #frequentflyer communities. I am self-employed 😉✈️ #avgeeks
