About Me

Describe Yourself:

The French would describe me as a woman of "un certain age." My body and mind are so far holding their own against the passage of time, with the former fit enough to take me hiking in the Amazonian jungle. the Australian outback and the African bush; and the later able to chronicle the experience in words and images for a published, copyrighted travel review website. I am committed to treating the planet and all its residents with compassion; and to promoting positive change through my words and deeds.
