My books focus on international travel. I have done a lot of personal traveling internationally and have worked as a tour director all over the world for many years. These travels provide the background to my work. Even the fiction series I am currently working on features a main character who is put in the position of having to travel the world. I started reading travelogues when I was quite young, particularly ones that took place in Asia. These travelogues provided me with the motivation to travel and the urge to write about the places I've experienced.
