The World is My Playground and Schoolroom

The most popular question people ask me is “in all your travels around the world, do you have a favorite place or country?” I don’t need time to think about it. The answer is always the same. My favorite is consistently the last place I’ve visited. That could be Nebraska, Namibia, Iceland, Bangkok, France, Milwaukee or Mexico. Or, it could simply be my own backyard of Colorado. Foremost, I am an explorer, driven by a deep sense of wanderlust.

The point is, there’s so much to learn, see and do everywhere on this planet; even in those well-trod favorites closest to you. Take a look at some of the experiences I’ve had the privilege to write about by viewing my Portfolio or clicking on one of the Topics below.

On the one and only forecasted solid,sunny day in On the one and only forecasted solid,sunny day in NYC I decided to walk the Highline Trail from Midtown to the Chelsea Market.. Now, I know it’s not the reason why it’s called “Highline” but the trail is above the street and you get a gaping good look at some stunning, really high skyscrapers where the old meets the new. This walk is a favorite activity of mine to do while in NYC, plus, it’s free! #highlinenyc #nyc #skyscraper #urbantrail

Basel and Lucerne greeted us with a snowy welcome Basel and Lucerne greeted us with a snowy welcome at the start of our Christmas Cruise with Amawaterways. How do you keep warm? The Swiss way! Eat fondue and go for a walk along Lucerne’s famous medieval Chapel Bridge. Then a warm up stop inside the church. And yes, chocolate helped give us energy too! Ever tasted Swiss chocolate filled with Schnapps? Yum! After Switzerland we head next to Strasbourg. More later. Glad I brought my stretchy pants! #amamora #amawaterways #rivercruise

Chandeliers, big glitzy globe shaped light fixture Chandeliers, big glitzy globe shaped light fixtures in a dramatic setting brings out the playful phone artist in me.

The castle fortress city of Bellizona is truly “bellisima!” #inlovewithswitzerland #adventuretraveltradeassociation #bellinzona
