TALISPHERE

The Travel Web site was initially created as a gift for Dan Walker's 60th birthday from his son, Paul Walker, and is maintained as hobby and updated as time permits... Follow Dan across the globe! Using satellites and a Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies, Dan is able to transmit his coordinates on a regular basis (providing he can find an Internet connection in the country he is in)... Wandering has been in Dan's his system from birth. The only way that his mother could keep him around was to put him in a harness and attach it to the clothes line. His grandparents and mother move to Victoria when Dan was still very young. When he got a tricycle he was gone so often, that his mother had to put dog tags around his neck with his name and phone number. She would often get phone calls from strangers many miles away where he stopped to ask directions.
