Welcome Armchair Travellers!
I love travel. I was almost born with a travelling (and cruising) bug.

When I was just a baby, my family moved to France (Paris), and then to Iceland (Reykjavik), on my father’s Foreign Service assignments. Although I was too young to remember, we even made a trans-Atlantic sailing one way.

In my teens, I visited my sister in South America one summer (Colombia) and took some interesting excursions with anthropologists. I remember she took me to Bogota one weekend, and we woke up the next morning to see a plane that had crashed in the mountain nearby.

As a young adult, I enjoyed a cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Unfortunately, I also enjoyed “Montezuma’s Revenge” on that trip.

As an adult I worked for a wholesale travel company and enjoyed the benefits of travel opportunities. I did a whirlwind tour of Europe (like the movie, “If It’s Tuesday, It Must Be Belgium”); visited Hawaii; visited Athens and cruised the Greek Islands; visited Egypt and cruised the Nile several times. I even lived in Egypt (Cairo) for a year.


With marriage and motherhood, my travelling days wound down. More recently, I’ve taken family trips to nearby beaches for short getaways. I also enjoyed a mother/daughter trip to New York to see “Wicked” on Broadway, followed by a Canada/New England cruise. That was a fabulous getaway!

These days, in my middle age, I’m not able to travel as much physically as I would like to. But what’s to stop me from travelling virtually? Nothing! So, now I plan to virtually go to the ends of the earth, exploring wonderful places and wonderful itineraries, to fulfill my Armchair Wanderlust.

I hope you’ll join me… Come. Explore. Rediscover. A world of possibilities awaits. You might even take a real trip. I hope so.

    Exotic. Mysterious. Mesmerizing. These are just a few of the words that will leap to mind once you reach the heart of Asia, where time-tested traditions and the modern age live side-by-side in perfect sync. Here, you’ll explore ancient temples seemingly swallowed by the jungle and by time, eat up miles on the bustling streets and secluded backcountry trails, and drink deep from the sun’s ultraviolet buffet as you stretch out on a perfectly deserted beach. From Zen temples that have stood for millenia to ultramodern skycrapers swathed in neon, Asia is contemporary and timeless, all at once.
