Nice to meet you! I have been writing and taking photos my entire life. The writings and photography on my site and in published works come from my experiences as a traveler, professional, speaker, and human. My love of travel, my pursuit of adventures, and my curiosity about people, places and cultures started in my teens and continues to this day. Through writing, blogging, and speaking, I strive to have the content and information I share put places, people and cultures into real life context, ultimately opening minds and expanding perspectives.
