ENTERTAINING AND INFORMING AUDIENCES THROUGH PICTURES AND HUMOROUS STORYTELLING
Over the course of my executive career I have traveled to 47 countries. My drive to meet customers and experience customs has taken me on roads less traveled on six continents. With a keen eye for the unusual and a knack for humor, I bring you a collection of travelogues that are as entertaining as they are informative. Dive into stories that take you off the beaten path, accompanied by photographs that capture the essence of each destination. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or an armchair adventurer, “When in Roam” promises to delight, inform and inspire.
