About Me

For over 25 years I've traveled the world without flying. It's only ocean cruise ships, river ships and trains. I’ve visited some of the most amazing destinations, tasted local cuisine and discovered new traditions and cultures.
I hope to inspire you to travel the world without flying and introduce you to the people, places and traditions I've discovered along the way. Travel slow, travel far, always have a fabulous meal and a glass of wine along the way!
