I have always had a passion for travel and adventure, choosing month-long backpacking trips over shorter, simpler ventures. I have traveled through most European countries, many Eastern European countries and lived in Armenia for two years while in the Peace Corps.
I also enjoy travel in the U.S. and frequently hike in the Olympic Mountains in the Pacific Northwest. My partner and I sail and are in the process of planning our permanent retirement sailing around the world.
