The science fiction writer, Robert Heinlein, wrote “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog…write a sonnet. Specialization is for insects.”
This also explains my motivation to write. I’m interested in everything. Why cows have horns. Why certain wildflowers only bloom once every few years. The way someone must feel who has spent their entire life on an island.
Writing gives me a way to explore the many curiosities of this world we live in. I can step outside of myself and explore ideas, learn quirky new facts and meet people whose paths I might otherwise not cross. I consider it a gift.
I work in different styles as well as topics–from first-person narrative to objective reporting. I also do corporate writing with an emphasis on cross-cultural relations and the gemstone and jewelry industry.
My other passion is travel. I have lived in China and Mexico. I’ve travelled throughout Asia, The United States, Canada, and Europe. As a travel writer I try to find the story behind a destination. I write dining reviews, profiles of hotels and resorts and bits of local folklore and history.
We are all wanderers on this earth. Our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams.
