I travel the world teaching and talking.
Photographing and writing,
Sharing experiences

It’s a celebration
"I'm an ordinary person, just a teacher who wants to inspire, learn as I travel and capture the spirit and uniqueness of all I see and the people I meet. It's a celebration of my creativity" My days of engaging in this way is limited, or should I say taking a different direction and I'm thankful for…
Winchester Cathedral and beyond.
The sun made an appearance late in the afternoon yesterday and the landscape was transformed from grey to great… The greens are iridescent, the sun filters through the wet leaves and is captured like diamonds in the rain drops hanging from every solid surface.

London another adventure.
