About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as many places around the world as I can

ABOUT ME

I am a mother of 3 natural children, 2 stepsons and 1 unofficially adopted daughter. I have 10 grandchildren. I have been working with the same not for profit agency for 27 years and feel like I haven't worked a day since then. I just started travelling in 2006 and can't get enough. Because I started travelling so late in life, I cannot go to the same place twice.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no such thing as impossible. The impossible just takes a little bit longer.
