Six hectic and eventful years have passed since my arrival in England from Australia. Business takes me on regular "flying visits", where as soon as I am out of one office, I am in another airport lounge ready for take-off. This past summer, however, I piled my family into the car and headed off along the auto routes, autostrada and autobahns of Europe.
The first and lasting impression I had was of the continent's vastness. This may sound strange coming from someone raised in Australia's great open spaces. But in regard to Europe, I use "vastness" to describe the huge concentration of towns, cities, businesses, culture and activities across borders, rivers, mountains and plains. There is also a vast opportunity for the growth of the self-storage industry on this continent, indeed in the new "Euro-Zone."
