About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel is Fatal to Prejudice!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel the world. I have lived in various countries throughout the world and also in various places throughout America.

I am a photographer, painter, writer and teacher. I just take it all in, breathe deeply, and enjoy whatever moment I am currently living. I am a mad traveler, running to and fro, back and forth, side to side (seriously, I am really good at moving horizontally). I like to get to the nitty gritty of whatever place I choose to go... waste no time and just immerse myself in the culture, food, people, and languages of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is fatal to prejudice. The more I see of the world, learn of it's languages, and meet its people, the smaller it becomes to me.

Interests

Photography, writing, poetry, languages, walking, museums, dancing, singing, laughing, and seeing the world....and pina coladas! Ah Yeah!
