Introduction Life philosophy: The Three F's- Food,Friends and Film. Food: Joys of cooking and eating. Friends: Any and all people relations. Film: The pleasures of story telling in all forms: oral, books and film. With philosophy out of the way... Enjoy being with people when balanced with periods of solitude. There is great pleasure traveling slow on the side roads. I learn in the company of people who are emotionally mature and spiritually evolved. Have learned to live my life without manufacturing drama. I write travel Dispatches regularly and began sharing them when I traveled the United States in 2007, after renouncing my career in high technology. Born and raised in California. Currently traveling the Americas, wandering South America in an old 1986 Land Cruiser with plans to reach Ushuaia, Argentina in Patagonia -the bottom of the world. This journey began in October 2008 and is why I started this BLOG. The intent is to share and inspire.
