“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness…Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one’s lifetime” – Mark Twain

I live in New York City but leave as often as I can. I am a dedicated traveller and a passionate animal lover - I have 3 dogs and a cat so it is a rough combination but they are always well cared for when I am on the road. I have travelled extensively throughout North and South America, Asia, The Middle East, and East Africa. I have loved and appreciated all of my journeys but some standouts are Croatia, Easter Island, The Galapagos, Borneo, Nepal, India, Cambodia, Egypt and Zanzibar. The hands down best experience I have ever had was gorilla trekking in the Congo, followed by visiting orangutans in Borneo as a close second. My next planned trips are to Bhutan this spring, and would like to get to Australia and New Zealand soon after that.
