An inspiring globe with a lifetime of travels tracked and traced. From a TransAtlantic steamer in the early 1961, 99 days on Greyhound buses through the US in 1962, years as a merchant marine, a failed attempt to dock in Trista da Cunha on account of heavy seas, river cruises down epic waterways like the Nile, flying around the world for work and adventures, biking through Asia, being on the longest non-stop flight in world aviation, being on the last west bound crossing of the QE 2… even being on the last scheduled Lufthansa flight before lockdown in 2020 … this globe tells so many stories through these lines, labels, and hand drawn and hand painted illustrations of favourite memories. Most touching are the last memories of travel with his wife to her favourite places and his continued travel without her. It has been a true pleasure to get to know more about this customer through his very well documented travels and helping decide how to show this all on a globe.
