Profile
I firmly believe travel is a requirement to straighten this world out --- getting out and digging up common ground with others teaches that we are rather similar with no need to quarrel.


"Whenever someone asks me what I think he should do with his life, I say, First, leave home. Get out there, where if you care to listen, you will find many other people dreaming of making connections and changing the world, just like you. The only mistake is in thinking you will make an important difference in the lives of the people you are among. The profound difference will be in you."

.....Paul Theroux

Thanks Vance ! Sorry mate, no ciggie to share with you. It was impressive to say the least. Could be shared by 2 people. (hey, watch it there, get those nasty thoughts out of your head !) ha ha ha

I get my kicks in museums and art galleries or mansions & castles. So if you visit, I'll definitely recommend or tag along (if I can) with you to those places. :D

There doesn’t seem to be nearly enough info on this site around the paradise I used to live in --- Maine. Thought I would recycle some old photos and try to highlight a few of the numerous hiking opportunities available.
