My hope is to visit 100 countries before I'm pushing up daisies! I’m at 67 which includes the seven continents, every American and Australian state plus all the state capitals and almost all U.S. national parks. Once I knock out San Marino, I’ll finish Western Europe, and trips are in the works to complete Eastern Europe. I'll be heading back to South America and Africa soon, too.

I caught the travel bug from my parents who were always itching to take a trip after harvest ended. Working on the farm, I saved up money for my first camera: a Canon AE-1 Program. I even won an award for one of my first photos: a baby hummingbird about to leave the nest in an apricot tree. As my travel partners can attest, I take hundreds of photos and videos on trips. I’m starting a library of my favorites, so these pages are a WORK IN PROGRESS. Stay tuned!
