Places I've been

I spent 2002-03 in London earning a M.A. in Visual Culture and took the opportunity to visit all the major art capitals of Europe. I have often visited the South Pacific and recently returned from Africa, Peru, the Middle East, Panama, China, Mongolia, Thailand, Tonga, Samoa, India and Borneo. I have visited over 50 countries and have just started my life-time adventure of traveling the backroads of our planet. I am particularly interested in meeting Indigenous Peoples in their native environment, white water rafting and horseback riding expeditions to far-off destinations.
