Our next trip, to Brazil, will take me to my 57th country.  But I only started blogging about my extended adventures in early 2010.  When not exploring interesting places at home and abroad, I’m usually writing, raising puppies for Canine Companions for Independence, working with the Galactic Association of Intelligent Life, volunteering for Women’s Empowerment International, gardening, reading, studying other languages, or otherwise engaged. Steve Wolfe has been my constant traveling companion (and inspiration) for more than 40 years.
