CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to verify that we're not all that different after all. Smell the air and feel the earth between our toes in as many longitudes and lattitudes as I can muster. Proudly share the places I call home.

ABOUT ME
Jim and Tina no longer are a couple sharing this profile. Tina (54) enjoys experiencing life the most outdoors and finds her spirit in nature, beauty and art. She is fond of gardening and enjoys photography and live music. I was raised by parents that exposed me to different cultures and ways of life, through travel. I enjoy meeting new people and the exchange of ideas and thoughts.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and the world will smile back. Be considerate of others. Take personal responsibility. Keep an open mind and heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As an amateur photographer, I requested and was granted a press pass to the Montreaux Jazz Festival and covered it as a photographer and audience member.

Watching the seals migrate from the ocean in New Zealand, under and across the road, to a fresh water waterfall.
