Pack Your Bags

Don't have the money or the time to discover the world? Can't bear to be cooped up in an economy flight lasting more than an hour? No travel companion? If you want to explore the world of international travel without leaving home, this is the book for you. Let me be your guide to over 41 countries and six continents. Laugh, cry, meet fascinating people, try something new, and learn.

Pack Your Bags is volume one and the first edition of what I hope will be my new series, A Nomadic Soul.

It encompasses 47 years of traveling to 41 countries on six continents. Blog links are available beginning in Egypt (2009) - allowing all readers to view every photo taken during each subsequent trip in the book.

The Coronavirus ground international travel to a halt, but I hope to begin work on volume two in 2022 and 2023, with trips to Jordan and Israel, Rwanda, Antarctica, an Arctic Expedition of Untamed Norway and Svalbard, and Scotland.

Travel is my passion. I love discovering obscure, exotic, foreign, far-flung places that capture and challenge all my senses. There must be interesting people, fascinating photography, mouth-watering local food and drink, and activity that keeps me engaged. I want to learn, laugh, cry, and appreciate the generosity of those who have little or nothing. I travel to become a better person and discover the world and all it may offer.
