  • V!VA Travel Guides

Compulsive traveler since the 1980s. Visited more than 100 countries, some many, many times. Travel seven months a year. While traveling I do volunteer educational programs in schools to promote "peace through tourism and education."

  • Hometown

    Lowville, New York, USA

  • Location now

    Mexico, New York, USA

  • Work published

    Copley News Service, many inflight magazines, weekly column in the Syracuse Post Standard, three web columns, one syndicated column, and more.

  • Travel philosophy

    The more people travel and learn about one another the better the world will be.

  • Craziest place

    A restaurant in a town north of Hanoi where there were live dogs, deer, snakes and the like and one could choose which one they wanted for dinner. Luckily, we were not hungry.

  • Bizarre experience

    Sleeping in a Pesch hut in La Mosquitia... or in a tree house in India, or spending a week on a felucca on the Nile (no toilet!).

  • Advice

    Just go...

  • Dream destination

    Luckily, I have visited most of my dream places: Easter Island, Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, Vietnam... now I like to travel slowly so I can really get to know a place and meet the people.

  • Traveled before

    Most places in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Oceania, and only a few places in Africa.

  • Going next

    Philippines, Myanmar, but ready to go anywhere, anytime.
