I believe as the native Americans did, that each photograph taken of a person also takes a bit of their soul.

I love to travel and have been on countless road trips all over the United States and Canada.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One summer, I ran a pop-up hostel in a luxury six-bedroom apartment. I posted invites and ads on multiple platforms and received an overwhelming response. Over a four month period, I hosted a few hundred guests, most of whom were internationals. It was a wonderful experience meeting so many great people from every part of the world.

I’ve also hosted art openings in my home. We’ve had some truly great events.

Oh, I’ve also done a three day road trip across North America without sleeping. That was 25 years ago though. I would never attempt to do that now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a wide range of experience and knowledge and am happy to share.
