Music, Movies, and Books

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

-Lennon 1971-

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd always love to travel. When I was little, I dreamt of long and exotic voyages around the world, living and communing amongst the locals. I'd love to explore every corner of the world and prove to “some” people that the earth is definitely NOT FLAT and is more than 4 billion years old.

Currently, we have visited 6 continents, 90 countries/ nations and territories. I think that that one of my greatest achievements! I still have more lands to cover and hopefully live long enought to see every corner of the earth!!

One of the most unforgettable trip was to Machu Picchu. Climbing the neighboring A Huayna Picchu mountain peak was exhilarating, tiring and dangerous!
Seeing and going inside one of them the pyramids of Egypt was claustrophobically awesome!

South Africa is one of my favorite, the wildlife is amazing, the country is beautiful.

The clear blue waters of the pacific islands and the Caribbean are always a delight to swim and bask in.

Just recently returned from a trip to Easter Island (Rapa Nui). Amazing to be in this quiet, peaceful and mysterious island.

I will always remember my elephant ride in Thailand and my camel ride in the deserts of the Middle East and well as the trip to the ancient city of Petra.

Seen the horrors of war in a recent visit to Auschwitz . May we not repeat this terrible event again - ever.

There is beauty, mystery and enchantment everywhere, in every nation, every country, every culture and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is a working university. I'd like to share my interests and maybe gain knowledge from others.
