About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To teach and travel.

ABOUT ME

Tired of being the last one chosen for team sports I have taken to cycling, running, swimming, hiking, and shoestring travel. I was very fortunate to work aboard a cruise ship for about 3 years with ports of call in the Indian Ocean Africa, Scandanavia, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the Gulf.
