About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To walk in Beauty every day and leave little pieces of it wherever I go.

ABOUT ME

I travel a great deal, so far to 52 countries, some of them many times. Sometimes my journeys are quite de luxe, sometimes I sleep on the ground. I love to meet new people and see new things.
And when I am at home I live a quiet life, staying home in my studio mostly and happy to host fellow travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

"Know why you're unhappy? Because 99% of what you do you do for your self and there isn't one." -Wei Wu Wei

"You've got to get out there beyond where your mojo's good anymore."- Michael Ventura

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing? I once rode in a Zodiac down the Orinoco at sunset, with the sky a dozen shades of orange and red, a flock of parrots flying over my head and a pod of pink river dolphins swimming along side, just out of reach. Pretty magical.
