\"FranI love travelling to places and seeing the real thing right in front of me. I love getting there; by plane, train or bicycle. I love playing detective travelling back though time with family history.<\/p>\n

So I blog it. Bits about my trips away from home and adventures back in time. I share what I see, find out and discover with my friends and followers that take the time to enjoy TravelGenee.<\/p>\n

I am a part-time family history blogger and part-time traveller. I also love sports, especially the NRL* team Melbourne Storm & childhood favourite, Chelsea Football Club. Oh and I drink coffee, good coffee only. You will catch me crocheting sometimes or reading other blogs when I should be blogging.<\/p>\n

I used to fund my family history adventures as a partner in a wallcovering-importing business, The Wallpaper People. We sold the business in March 2023 though I am still excited by decor and other girly things.<\/p>\n
