Myself on the 2014 lava flows on Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala. 22-FEB-2015

My name is René Goad and I’m a volcano enthusiast, adventurer, and photographer. My fascination for volcanoes goes back to when I was a kid often reading about them and watching documentaries but it wasn’t until 2005 when I climbed my first volcano during a trip to Guatemala. I’ve been travelling to volcanoes since then and that inspired me to set up my website in 2006 when I was with Webs.com but I have since moved on to WordPress. The purpose of this website is to have an educational value by sharing information and my passion for volcanoes.
