CURRENT MISSION

To visit all the countries of the Earth before dying and share its beauty with others through photography and videography.

ABOUT ME

I have been a high school language teacher (mostly Spanish but also Italian) for the last 25 years. Over the last 3 decades I've been photographing the world and honing my language skills. Over the last 3 years I've been working on getting my own travel show produced. I travel in search of adventure and understanding of different ways of thinking.

PHILOSOPHY

See as much of the world as possible before I die.

Music, Movies, and Books

For books I tend to read mysteries. As for movies, I enjoy sci fi, action flicks, and comedies. Music is something I have on just for background noise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I walked with tigers.

Teach, Learn, Share

All are different so if you want to enjoy them, you must be able to adapt. It does help if you read the profiles. It helps even more if you know what you are reading. Once I thought I was going to stay with a naturalist because I misread the bio. He was actually a naturist.
