TRAVEL

Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, I had no particular attraction to travel until my paternal grandmother took me at age 11 by bus to Vancouver and California, including Disneyland. That experience instilled in me a love of travel as a time of adventures, of the new and unexpected. After my first year of university, I spent half the summer working and the other half on a summer archeology course in Rome, followed by travel with a classmate through Italy and France.
