It has been my incredible good fortune to see the four corners of the earth. The first serious book I read as a child was "Kon Tiki" by Thor Heyerdahl and it must have ignited a spark that I don't think will ever be extinguished.

I present here just a few of my far flung adventures. I hope they inspire, inform and delight my generous readers.
