My favorite place in all of the United States is El Morrow National Monument in New Mexico. It is a unique spiritual experience to stand on the top completely alone at sunset when the park is ready to close... My favorite places in Michigan are Mackinac Island , Frankenmuth, Saugutuck and of course many areas around Detroit.

I am a college professor by trade but have not taught in a few years.

I am looking around site just now.

I really love meeting new people and love learning about people who have different life experiences than I do. I know this site is geared toward a younger crowd but I do not fit in with the traditional crowd. Never been married. No children. I still love to go out, people watch and love art and culture. My main reason for travel is to see art and architecture first hand and to meet great people. I am of Scottish-Irish and German descent but am an American through and through. I have been obsessed with European and Asian culture since childhood. My other obsession is the U.A.E. which I studied exstensively for many of my undergrad coursework.
