Victoria B.C. Canada

Apart from writing in my school newspaper back in the 80`s, my thoughts, letters and inuendos have been only published via letters to family and friends...ahh, but the day is young.

Stay off the beaten track and learn what the country is really like.

Jinan, in the Shangdong Province of China. We toured a maximum security prison where all inmates were murderers and state offenders. I played basketball with the inmates and ping pong with the Warden.

As a new traveller and beginning adventure seeker/writer, my most memorable experience has to be a week spent on a tradition chinese commune. No running water, electricity, no toilets. Very simple huts, but being hosted by the kindest people I`d ever met. Some had never seen a white person before.

Use all 5 of your senses in regards to everything. Always use caution and be overly respectful to new cultures and ways of doing things. Be patient and don`t take unneeded risks.

La Paz, Bolivia. Tierra Del Fuego..and Soldier field in Chicago to see my Bears

My travels have taken me through most of the Western United States, Canada, Wales, the United Kingdom and Spain.

Hopefully to a writers boot camp in Guatemala, but if not our plan is Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, Peru, Equador, Chilli.
