My Travel Story

You only turn fifty once.  After half a century of writing, cooking, working -- decades in which losing a parent, contending with homelessness, and seeing folks die too young -- the need to live meaningfully and document it becomes an emotional imperative. 

Through writing, photography, cooking, and imparting lessons learned, living meaningfully provides a model for friends and family, as well as enabling bonds with people met overseas and readers and writers. The stories, the recipes, and the images that emerge from travel allow me to share a couple weeks overseas for years with a variety of people, and ensure no conversation runs out of steam.
