One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I took a roadtrip from Florida to Alaska then down into Mexico. I put 24,000 miles on my vehicle in 6 months, crossed the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer, saw the sun set in Montana, rise in Mexico, and never go down in Alaska. I went from sea to shining sea, Atlantic to Pacific, Gulf of Alaska to the Sea of Cortez. I crossed borders, climates, and time zones. I drove roads that were like serpents and discovered Grace somewhere between Denali and the deserts of Baja. I met souls who changed my life. I got to know my land, North America, as I have never known it before. It was the adventure of a lifetime, a true odyssey.

My career has also taken me to Africa, Europe, The Middle East, and around the Indian Ocean.

I am very fortunate to call Mexico City home these days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for nature and history and I try to share it with everyone who is open to it. I love to experience other cultures and explore new ways of thinking.

I think that what we teach each other is difficult to catalog but I travel to get outside my comfort zone.
