Jays Adventures Around the World ...

 Jays basic contact info:   j@christoj.com

   

My initial purpose for creating this site was to allow my family to track my activities, since 'phoning home' was not an easy task in some of the places I have visited.  Along the way I also found that friends & visitors to this site were able to learn from my travels, both good & bad...

.... so welcome to my site and I hope you somehow benefit from the visit!        Jay
