  • Travel philosophy

    Travel is the safest road to world peace and harmony.

  • Craziest place

    Not necessarily crazy - they were actually quite wonderful - but we spent a week sailing down the Nile in a felucca, slept in a native village in La Mosquitia, Honduras, and spent a night in a tree house in India.

  • Bizarre experience

    In remote areas of Asia my size causes amazement and they touch me all over to make sure it is really all me!

  • Advice

    The world is a safe and wonderful playground. Get out there and play.

  • Dream destination

    I have been lucky to visit most of my dream destinations but want to visit the places I have not visited such as the Gobi Desert, South Africa, and Dubai.

  • Traveled before

    We have been to more than 100 countries, many several times.

  • Going next

    Planning to spend three months in Asia, again.
