I have been fortunate to travel to far off lands since my early 20’s.  It started with camping around Europe, then traveling extensively in Indonesia, Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia with friends who were in the Peace Corps. There were more trips to France, Italy, Ireland, Kenya, Argentina, and China, some for education and service, some to explore family ties.
