Seeker/travels: I have circumnavigated the world once, and journeyed to all of the continents except "the cold one." I began my travels with the Peace Corps of the USA in 1968. I was a small city boy who had not traveled before. My philosophy about travel is that I try to study the language of an area/country before visiting, and that I visit more than "several days" in one location to get a sense of place, to know the people, that they may also get to know me. Travel is a reciprocating experience. Linked locations below display a few of either photos or Flash pieces of my experience...
