CURRENT MISSION

I'm on a trip around the globe to visit friends and see new places. I prefer to see what daily life is like rather than museums or historical places. Sitting down to a new meal or a cup of coffee and talking.

The one thing I've learned about traveling is that museums and historical places have lost their allure. I'm much more interested in visiting friends and reconnecting with people I've met. Those experiences seem to be much more rewarding than the normal tourist thing.

ABOUT ME

I'm trained as an actor (Shakespeare and Musicals), but taking a break to teach and travel. I've been to a lot of amazing places recently.

PHILOSOPHY

It keeps changing. For five years I went wherever the Wind took me. Now I'm focusing on a one year plan and seeing how that goes.

UPDATE! The one year plan went well, and I met so many really wonderful people. Now I'm off again. Spain > Morocco > Turkey > Malaysia > Thailand > Vietnam > Japan & then back to the USA.
