TRAVEL & EXPLORATION

FacebooklinkedinmailFacebooklinkedinmail

 

Through immersive learning expeditions spanning over 45 countries, I have explored diverse cultures, calling five of them home and delving deep into the intricacies of four through my studies and extensive research.

When I embark on my journeys, I immerse myself in the vibrancy of each place, seeking connections with its people, marveling at the splendor of its natural environments, and embracing the variety of arts and cultural experiences offered.

Along the way, I seize the opportunity to capture captivating moments through my lens, freezing in time the essence of encounters with people and nature. I eagerly share the wisdom gleaned through my writing and teaching.

As an Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver, I have explored the world’s largest barrier reef systems, curiously investigating their secrets and witnessing the breathtaking beauty beneath the surface.

My travels have also allowed me to move across endless seas, from the waters of Cortez and the Celtic Sea to the timeless Mediterranean and the turquoise expanse of the Caribbean. I have ventured to the Aegean, the Adriatic, and the Sargasso while tracing the shores of the North, Baltic, Andaman, Bering, and Coral Seas.

On my quests, I have journeyed into rainforests from the South American Amazon to the Australian Daintree, among others. I’ve hiked lofty peaks of several majestic mountain ranges, striving against their formidable heights and surrendering to their awe-inspiring vistas. The Rockies, the Alps, the Andes, the Great Dividing Range, the Appalachian Mountains, and the Cascades have all challenged my unwavering spirit of adventure. Each step taken fuels my yearning for discovery.

Language, a gateway to understanding and connection, accompanies my odyssey. Fluent in English and Spanish, I love the intricacies of communication, bridging cultural divides and creating bonds that transcend borders. And though my grasp of French may be modest, it is enough to embark on delightful exchanges and ensure breakfast lands on the table. When it comes to Portuguese, I’m learning.

Join me as I traverse the globe, delving into the extraordinary amalgam of our world, capturing fleeting moments of beauty, and weaving the stories of diverse lands and vibrant cultures into the fabric of education and shared understanding to empower people to serve the planet and peace.
