I’m JONNY

“THERE ARE NO BAD PICTURES; THAT’S JUST HOW YOUR FACE LOOKS SOMETIMES.” – ABRAHAM LINCOLN

I am the person on the left of the picture. 

I also have my more “professional”  blog called Mr Jonathan Jones where I talk more about analytics, tracking, Google Data Studio, and Search Engine Optimisation. 

This is more of my personal blog where I’ll talk about my travels and more personal matters. 

So who am I? 

I’m a half British & half Taiwanese person living in London and I like to travel and have some ambitious travel goals for 2020. I created this blog a while back when blogging seemed to be the cool thing to do in 2010. However, time and work have got in the way, hence I’ve not been able to blog as much as I’ve wanted to blog. 

Here’s hoping that will change in 2020 and beyond. I’ll be travelling quite a bit this year, so I’ll hopefully have a lot of interesting posts up on this site.

First run of 2020 – 5.89km
