My next destination:
Japan - from Oct 2025 until Nov 2025 View allDescription
I have visited 58 countries and enjoy learning about new cultures. My travels have been a very rewarding experience. I've found the people I've met have made more of a lasting impression than the sights I've seen. It's been a constant learning experience and has made me realize how much I still need to learn. I currently have a rewarding, long time career in the insurance industry and work full time. With my travels I have found meeting people from different countries more rewarding than the actual sight seeing.
I have done volunteer English teaching on six different occasions and each time it's been an exceptional experience.Interests
