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.

Last night in SLO-Cal. Perfect sunset in a pretty Last night in SLO-Cal. Perfect sunset in a pretty little place. Overnighted in Los Osos , a small, sleepy bedroom community huddled near Morro Bay. How many beachside water sunset views can you have all to yourself without swarms of humans close by? I guess this is our little secret for now. #losososcalifornia #sunset #naturalbeauty

Discovered my ancestral clan’s tartan colors, saw weaving tartan demos and enjoyed looking at lots of men in kilts walking about.

Just a few days before today, which is the 54th an Just a few days before today, which is the 54th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, I walked through America’s first Civil Rights Museum. I was beyond moved, as I walked through the thoughtfully curated transformation of the historic motel, once the only lodging for black people, now revived into a museum showing the struggles and illuminating insight into the civil rights movement. If you go to Memphis, go here, then listen to the great music threaded throughout the city. #mlk #mlkday2022 #memphis

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the carvers in action at the World Ice Art Championships in Fairbanks Alaska this week. The transformation begins with single or multiple blocks of ice heaved in from the river. #explorefairbanks #alaska
