My name is Travelin' Matt. There is nothing more enjoyable to me than seeing the world; meeting new people; and taking photographs.
If you would like a copy of one of my photos to remind you of what a wonderful planet we live on, look through this blog for ordering information.
When you're done looking around... remember: the world is a big place...get travelin' ! !
Thanks for visiting.

What "Fraggle Rock" have I been hiding under?! I had never seen the Jim Henson program or heard of Uncle Traveling Matt when naming my site. My apologies to the late Mr. Henson and thanks for all his wonderful creations. It just goes to show the universality of his work. Funny how much I look like Uncle Traveling Matt!
