By way of introductions, I’m a retired Chicano professor who spent a quarter century on the global corporate grind before finding refuge in teaching college students at a small liberal arts campus. My wife is my favorite travel partner, at home and on the road, and together we have traveled around the world. We hope to keep doing so as long as spirit, health, and finances allow.

This site is a mixed bag. It has short stories about some of my past adventures and Roads Traveled. It also speaks to my Learning Gigs with students who have traveled with me to more than twenty countries. I’ve also included what I hope are good resources to help the potential expat or digital nomad plan their escape.

This site has three menus. The Roads Traveled one serves as my memory well of past travel adventures, starting as a teenager and moving to my “golden” years as a venturing boomer. Another section on Learning Gigs contains stories and opinions about teaching in and out of the classroom. especially in foreign settings. The last section focuses on resources and sites to help prepare you to plan and enjoy a truly memorable travel experience.  

So, take a moment to check out this site and other cool ones that speak to your venturing spirit. As a venturing boomer, I know that the time is now to enjoy and learn from experiences in other lands and the goal is to do this in a socially responsible and sustainable way. .
