There are three things that drive my life-momentum: writing, music and travel. I could say that travel is the food, the nourishment of the former two passions. I travel with purpose, to see the endless ways that people live their lives, to find warmth and smiles in the poorest corners, to cultivate endless understanding and compassion so that I might be a better citizen in a world that is fast growing smaller. Writing is the processing of all the information I acquire on the road. Done for both my readers and myself, I hope that the wonder I find in my journeys does not affect me alone. Music is the voice of joy, concern, and empathy with which I am left.
