Traveling has been a passion my entire life. Alaska, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Yangsho, Paris, Alaska, Kauai, Jerusalem, Bryce Canyon and The Canadian Rockies are unforgettable. I travel to experience the world and eat as a way to live the culture. I travel solo at times, and at other times, with my two young sons, 3 and 5, hoping to share a curiosity for the world and its beauty.
