After over two years of travel around the world to places including Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Greece, I returned to live in Santa Barbara, California in May of 2009.  Following are some slide shows taken over the past year in Indochina and more recently in California and Oregon during road trips after my return to the United States.

Thanks for stopping by!
