TRAVELING

My insatiable wanderlust has carried me to every continent except Antarctica. Through immersive learning expeditions spanning over 40 countries, I have explored the tapestry of diverse cultures, calling five of them home and delving deep into the intricacies of four others through my studies and extensive research.

When I embark on my journeys, I immerse myself in the vibrant mosaic 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, eagerly sharing the wisdom gleaned through my writing and teaching.

I have traversed the vast expanses of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, delving into their depths and forging a profound connection with their aquatic wonders. 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 forging 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.

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.
