A small sampling here of my travels, my wanderings around the world. These places & peoples & foods crafted the me of today.
I caught the travel bug in High School when I was gifted with a Rotary Exchange scholarship from my high school in Buffalo, MN.
I have been following the urge to travel ever since…
Lots of experiences to remember:

Spending a summer during college in Cologne, Germany,
Spending a winter break during college buying goods in Istanbul, Turkey to sell as Xmas presents back in Mpls.
