ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

A slowly gathered
personal journal.

This website holds the life photographs, travel records and projects Charlie Mai has chosen to share. Family and travel photographs are supplied or authorised by him. Published images have their original EXIF removed and include no private contact details, original album links or precise coordinates.

Photographs and illustrations

The life and travel sections use real photographs. The sunny coastal scene on the home page is an original AI illustration, labelled alongside it. Project covers may use designed compositions; actual application captures include notes on their status.

Privacy and links

This website itself does not install third-party analytics, advertising trackers or marketing cookies, and has no forms collecting personal information. The hosting service may record information needed for connections and security; external project websites have their own privacy practices.

Travel records

This record currently covers 26 cross-border departures from 2022 to 2026, including one same-day return visit to Northern Ireland and excluding airport transits. The seven destination countries/regions refer only to this record, not a lifetime country total.

Updated 2026-10-15. More words and photographs will find their way here as life unfolds.
