About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am on a "Gap Year" with my 15 year old son. We are traveling around the Mediterranean, from Istanbul to Marrakesh...where will we meet you?

ABOUT ME

I am Easy Going!!! I am eager for new experiences and exposures. I view the world and it's people with curiosity, compassion and respect, and hope for the same in return. Traveling with my teenage son this year is the most exciting adventure of my life!

PHILOSOPHY

I am guided by the principle of leaving behind me, as I move forward in life, everything in a state better than I found it in.
