User:Nomadscot

Although I'm a reasonably heavy user of Wikipedia, it's (almost) always on the 'take' side of the balance sheet, very little on the 'give' side. I hope to change that one day, and with a welcome retirement looming (in a couple of years or so), I hope that I will be better positioned to contribute in some way.

As my username might indicate, I'm a Scot who has travelled to and lived in great swathes of our amazing planet. Of the five continents, I've lived and worked (and learned about life) in four - Europe, Asia, America and Africa. I haven't, sadly, either visited or worked in Australasia. I guess it's too late in my life now to expect to work there, but I still hope to visit one day.

My career has been in the casino industry, but my greatest interest is in ships and the sea. It's for this reason I guess that I was motivated to contribute in a small way to the article on Sky Wonder's mishap in the port of Kusadasi, Turkey, in March 2008. I hope that someone found it of interest.

Born in Scotland, I now live in Turkey.
