If someone asked me where are the favorite places I have traveled that I would like to return to, while it would be a tough choice, I really would have to say Bhutan and England. Two totally different countries, and I am fascinated by both of them. Bhutan, for its culture, its people, its religion, its Gross National Happiness, and its landscape. England, for its long-distance walking. Well, ok, I have not done all the walks in England, and have only scratched the surface, but there is one walk in particular that not only have I walked, but I have also written a book about! It is the 630-mile South West Coast Path, and my book released in December of 2018 is called, “The Arrow Closest To The Acorn. An American Woman’s Walking Adventure on England’s 630-Mile South West Coast Path.”

In general, I love to travel. I love to take pictures, and to write. And I love to walk and hike at home, and when I travel. In addition to the SWCP, I have also walked on the 482-mile Camino de Santiago across northern Spain, with an additional twenty miles up Spain’s Atlantic Coast. I have trekked to the village of Laya in Bhutan at 12,500 feet, backpacked the Wonderland Trail around Mount Rainier, ambled around the Cotswolds in England, tramped in New Zealand, and I am one of the few to walk around the perimeter of Île d'Orléans near Québec City, Canada. I have also journeyed from the Galapagos Islands to Punxsutawney, PA; from Cambodia and Vietnam to at least 25 countries in Europe; from at least 35 states in the United States to Australia and Belize. I enjoy exploring lighthouses anywhere I travel, and I purposely go to states such as Oregon, Washington, and Michigan just to see the lighthouses. I have been traveling since I was in college telling myself, “Why wait till I retire?”

In addition to my first written travel book on the SWCP, I have also created my favorite subject to photograph when I travel - windows and doors - into six books, including places from the Cotswolds to the Camino, from Île d’Orléans to Porvoo in Finland, lighthouses in Michigan, and ten other various countries including Bhutan. Who knows, I may even create a book with windows and doors pictures along the SWCP.

All books are available on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and other Amazon channels, with links below, with the written book on the South West Coast Path available in both paperback and eBook versions. There are brief descriptions of each book on my "Windows and Doors Travel Photography Books" page and on the "Written Book - "The Arrow Closest To The Acorn" - South West Coast Path" page.
