A very warm welcome!
I love to travel. I'm not sure if this love of travel evolved from my early work with the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University, or if my love of travel inspired my desire to focus on Geography as a major. Either way, it is a part of who I am and it works for me.
I would not be able to travel as much as I do without my other hobby--collecting hotel points and airline miles. I can be obsessive about my points and miles hobby, managing and tracking those miles, and of course, planning our next great adventure.
This website is home to my travel photography and allows me to share the many beautiful and interesting places we have visited over the past few years.
Journey on, and thanks for stopping by!
