I am presently retired after serving in the U.S. Army Special Operations and 17years as a contractor for the Dod and DoS in Iraq and Afghanistan, I’ve also been a computer administrator in Greece and several locations in the USA.

All in all, I have traveled and lived in over 30 countries in luxury accommodations to some of the most rustic locations you can imagine for the government and as a tourist. I have been lucky enough to meet people and see places that the average person can only see on sites like this and documentaries.

I am hoping that this site gives you a look at places and peoples and that you may be inspired to plan your own trips in order to see and visit some of the most exotic, historic, and enjoyable locations and people the world has to offer. Hopefully, the videos, photos, documents, and equipment recommendations you find here will do just that.
