my INSPIRATION TO TRAVEL

 As a child I was fortunate to have a loving family (luckily I still do) that took vacations all across the U.S. to see both National Parks and city wonders.  While I may not be able to sleep in the backseat of a car as easily as I once did, my passion for travel and nature remain strong.  I ardently believe that happiness is not a particular destination, rather it is a way of life.  Mark Twain once said “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”  With this wisdom in mind, I try to live my life to the fullest and travel as often as I can.  

                                                                If home is where the heart is, then wherever I go I may call home.
