I grew up on a cattle ranch in the Arizona desert. My sister still lives there. I caught the travel bug after graduating from college in 1989 and spending two months backpacking around Europe. It was while backpacking in Australia that I met my Swiss wife in 1993. We traveled on together for a couple of years, then got married and settled down in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. We had two sons there and then moved back to Tucson in 2005. Both sons seems to have caught the travel bug as well. The older one has just begun his travels.
