Currently in Wisconsin fighting off mosquitos.

I am a professional traveler. Ha...I wish. However last year I left my big corporate job and travel around the world for 16 months. I fell in love with traveling to developing countries and interacting/learning about locals and their culture. I've vowed to never go back behind a desk working for large corporation. Life is short, so why not enjoy it! I am now moving to Vietnam to live, teach, write and photograph SE Asia. The adventure continues!
