Adventures in Travel
I've explored a few places
in the last several years either by myself or with a travel companion
or two. Enjoy the photos in the slide-shows. It is my wish that they
will inspire you to get out and live out your dreams - whatever they
are, and wherever they take you.

The North American Journey (part 1): Travels with Liesbet and Caesar
from Coast to Coast via Florida and Alaska
"This isn't a tale of
heroic feats. It's about two lives running parallel for a while,
with common aspirations and similar dreams." - Ernesto
Guevara de la Serna, 1952
After
running parallel for several years throughout parts of 4 continents,
Liesbet and I concluded our travel companionship by going our separate
ways. The slide-shows below chronicle the path we took together across
North America. Liesbet and I are still very good friends, as we always had been.
