CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where I never have been before. To travel, see, and explore my way around the world and back. If it's there, it must be seen.

ABOUT ME

I recently retired early from living and working overseas, and currently teach as a part-time professor in a local university. I enjoy traveling, exploring, discovering new places. Experiencing new adventures and finding new discoveries in places and countries outside of my own is part of the fun. While I don’t have a “bucket list” I do have an unending desire to see places off of the beaten path and before they get discovered and become mainstreamed. Slightly quirky and different places that I have been to include Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, not to mention Tajikistan. North Korea and Cuba are on the horizon for me to visit soon….
