HAVE YOU EVER DREAMED OF QUITTING YOUR JOB, SELLING YOUR HOUSE AND EMBARKING ON THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME?
I did and then I chose to make my fantasy a reality. With no reservations just a backpack and a sense of adventure, I went on a three month solo backpacking adventure from London to Cairo. I visited such sites as Stonehenge, Buckingham Palace, the Eiffel Tower, Pompeii, the Roman Coliseim, the Pyramids of Giza and King Tut's Tomb. I rode a camel up Moses Mountain, learned to belly-dance, camped in the desert and fell in love...a few times. My journey across Europe and Egypt turned into a journey within as I reconnected with myself and explored the depths of my soul. This is my story... |

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT IT IS LIKE TO LIVE AND WORK ON A MILITARY BASE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR ZONE?
Are you crazy? That was the response my family gave me when I told them I was taking a job on a military base in Afghanistan.They said if I needed the money they would help me out.I wanted to ask them, “have you met me yet?”I would never take a job like this just for the money. Like everyone else in the world, I watched the war unfold in the news and had my share of questions.Were the Taliban as crazy as they were portrayed by politicians?Did we do the right thing by invading Afghanistan?Would this really stop terrorism?What was it like to survive a rocket attack? I faced my fears and stepped into the unknown trusting that the Universe would protect me as I went to the other side of the world to learn about war. This is my story... |

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO SPEND CHRISTMAS IN BETHLEHEM?
I did, so I decided to find out. Of course if I was going to travel all the distance I figured I should visit some other places along the way so I started in Berlin and gave myself two months to travel by land to Bethlehem. With no reservations, just a plane ticket, I embarked on my incredible journey with no idea what was in store for me along the way. I visited such amazing sites as the Berlin Wall, Auschwitz, Dracula’s Castle, the Blue Mosque, Cappadocia, the Dead Sea, Damascus, the grave of Oscar Schindler, the Western Wall and the Church of the Nativity. This is my story... |

You don't get much bigger than the Grand Canyon, so that is where I spent my 40th birthday. Since I was in Vegas, the world's most awesome adult playground, I also saw some shows, went indoor skydiving and took a dam tour and so much more. This is my story... |

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL?
I don't beleive in running away from my problems, but I do believe in flying away. So when real life got too hard for me I went on a ten-day Hawaiian vacation where I visited Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Cultural Center, swam in a shark cage, snorkelled with Green Sea Turtles and went zip-lining. This is my story... |

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO WORK IN THE ALBERTA OIL FILEDS?
Traveling around the world isn’t cheap so in order to pay for my trips, I worked as an industrial electrician in the Alberta Oil Fields in remote construction camps outside of Fort McMurray.I learned a whole new set of skills such as how to look busy when you have nothing to do, how to dress for -30 degree weather and how to go from cable crew to department manager in under ten days, all well taking home around $2000 a week. This is my story... |

HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES THEN THOUGHT IF I AM GOING TO KEEP THIS UP I MAY AS WELL DO IT SOMEPLACE WARM?
I did, so I took my search for Mr. Right all the way to South America where I journeyed through a salt cathedral in Columbia, boarded down sand dunes in Peru, flew over the Nasca lines, hiked Machu Picchu, learned to tango in Buenos Aires, repelled down a waterfall in Iguazu, visited a Witch Market in La Paz, walked on the Salar de Uyuni – the world’s largest salt flat and watched the final launch of the space shuttle Discovery. This is my story... |
