Why this site?
I love travel.
I love photography.
...and of course, I love my wife, Verena Schenk!
But this site is dedicated to the first two as it bears my name. Verena has her own site ;-)
Where have you been?
I’ve been to all 7 continents, and always working on more countries (up to 48 right now).
Are you going to show us photos?
There’s a number of photos here, but unfortunately I didn't’ catch the shutter-bug until I had traveled extensively. I don’t have pictures from everywhere I’ve been. I only put photos on this site that I have personally taken (of course if I’m in the photo, I had to relinquish my camera to someone else!)
Who is James Keating?
I work for ShopWiki.com, a shopping search engine that combs through all eCommerce stores to find the best deals possible, and the biggest selection. It uses crawler technology just like Google, but exclusive to shopping. We started a site in 2007 for the UK, ShopWiki.co.uk. and in mid 2008 we launched France, Germany and The Netherlands. At the far end of the world ShopWiki.com.au services shoppers in Australia. We just got ourselves new sites in Ireland, Spain, Canada, Belgium, and now Poland! Don’t worry, Italy, we’ll get there. Earlier this year, our parent company started a Coupon and Deal site, CouponFinder.com which has thousands of stores and coupons.
Are you really not going to say a word about Verena?
Of course I am... We tied the knot in New York City in September 2006. We love taking trips together and have taken on a dog we love, Scarlet. Links to photos the puppy up top.
You can read about our New York real estate experience living downtown at 63 Wall St that the NY Times reported about in Nov 2004:
Verena Schenk and James Keating in the NY Times
We don’t live there anymore :-) We now live at The Beacon. The website where I’m an administrator / moderate discussion for is the Capitol and Rialto Condos and I was mentioned in the NY Times for the BeaconOwners website
What’s with the Questions?
I’m curious, and I’m always asking questions. Sometimes to the annoyance of those around me. I believe there’s something to learn every day.
