My work has involved frequent travel, both within and outside the U.S. This has opened my horizons and led to a life-long love of meeting new people, enjoying new cultures, and experiencing the history and outdoor adventures of countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Antarctica – two more continents to go!
