Introduction

An Expat from the US, I am currently living in Taiwan, concentrating on exploring as much of Asia and the South Pacific as possible. To date, I have traveled to nearly 40countries on four continents. Prior to moving to Asia, I was living near Napa and surrounding wine regions. In addition to a full-time career in insurance litigation, I was also working part-time for a local winery in order to learn the wine making business. I am hoping to return to Northern California one day and start a boutique winery. I enjoy culinary travel, photography, wine education, scuba diving, and Disney Theme Parks, all which influence many of my travels. I am currently freelancing full-time, with an emphasis on travel, food, wine, Disney Theme Parks, islands travel, culinary travel, and destination weddings.
