'Been there, done that' with a yawn would best describe your attitude when the conversation turns to travel. You have been all over the world and have enjoyed all sorts of niche travel known to men.

Well, this should make you happy...

Spiegel Online has reported that more and more Germans have been heading off to Russia to experience the life of a cosmonaut. Aboard the MiG-25, a Russian military jet, one will zoom 30,000 meter above the earth, the edge of outer space.

"Been there, done that" is exactly what this chap I met a year ago could have said about space. His name was Mark Shuttleworth, a South African like me, and he was the next citizen after Tito to go up with the Russians. I met him through my boss who went to school with him in Cape Town.

Thankfully he is such a nice, humble guy that he would never say "Been there, done that."
