About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. - St. Augustine

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, ride trains and look out the windows, meet new people and hear their stories, learn new languages, watch films and read.

PHILOSOPHY

"Nihel me Sepuradit - nothing can separate us from love if love is not what we have but what we are." Father Gerald Vann

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Russian literature, Japanese films (Kurosawa) and a range of music from Johnny Cash to Schubert.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's always wonderful to see the kindness of strangers. I have experienced this many times while traveling in different countries and in cultures unfamiliar to me. I will be forever grateful to all those who have been so kind as to help me when I was in need and those who have smiled and shared stories and introduced me to the unique beauty of their country.
