About Me

My photo
Wanderer
Traveled the world as a kid, continued to do so as an adult. Staying in any one place for longer than 4 years generates an irresistible itch, and so I continue. Very long stint in the US, in various places, ended with a brief adventure in Poland, after which I'm back in the Seattle area. Next step? Probably Spain, but the timing still needs to be worked out. In the meantime, family, job, life takes precedence.
