CURRENT MISSION

To hear the great stories of people as I travel

ABOUT ME

I've traveled to 40 countries, some doing humanitarian work, others just to travel. I love meeting people and talking about life, worldviews, culture, and hobbies. My favorite travel experiences are meeting people not just seeing tourist sites.
