Background

I have extensively been traveling in Europe and North Africa as well as from the Netherlands via the Middle East to South Africa and subsequently to South America, Australia and Southeast Asia during the last seven years (with interruptions - actual travel time almost four years). Blog (Dutch) and background information (English) can be found at our site www.4ever2wherever.com/clever. During my trips I collect tracks and POIs. When I have the opportunity (usually at home) I update the collected data in OSM.
