"Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection."

-- Lawrence Durrell

Hi, I’m David

I'm a career world language educator specializing in German. Traveling has been part of my life since childhood when we went camping nearly every weekend. I've been fortunate enough to have been in all 50 states and numerous countries around the world. In addition, I've been involved in numerous professional associations throughout the years.

I'm looking forward to sharing my travel experiences with you, especially since the pandemic has affected all our lives and prevented most of us from traveling for more than a year. Join me for the journey!
