The idea began with purchasing a one way plane ticket to Singapore. All I knew for sure was that I wanted to travel for some months through countries I had never been to. Take photos. Then a couple months later return home. I never went back home to the United States to live.

Instead I began a journey of discovery. Over the course of eleven plus years I traveled to over 40 countries. I called for many years Italy as my home base. I lived a different type of life, a life free from the distractions of ‘things’ and more centered on me.

I made many mistakes.I had many days of amazement and also many days of losing my way. But I never stopped taking photographs. I never stopped writing about my experiences. Over the course of ten years I published more than 30 different types of books.

Now I begin a new journey. A journey similar to what I experienced before, but also open to the idea this time the destinations— whether they be the same places or new places— will take me to a new understanding of my place in the world.

Follow me as I explore.
