CURRENT MISSION

Continue to explore our beautiful planet, improve my language skills (Spanish and Dutch in particular), learn from the locals wherever I go. Be a traveler, not a tourist!

Roadtrip from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon.

Grand Bazar in Istanbul, Canals of Venice, La Alhambra in Granada, the Norwegian Fjords and ICELAND!
