Traveler Info
Biography
I am an avid traveler – though MOSTLY in the U.S. (so far). I would have to say that it is all probably a bit of a proxy for not being able to visit the Moon – my fondest wish since I watched the Apollo landings as a toddler. But it’s a pretty good proxy at that. Been to all 50 at least twice, all but 5 at least 3 times. That number will drop to 3 by August. Current quest is to visit all of the 63 (soon to be 64, I think) National Parks. I’m at 42 but will be at 45 as of August. Would love to join (or start?!) a “gotten frisky in all 50” club someday as well. XD
