Independence is my happiness,
and I view things as they are,
without regard to place or person;
my country is the world,
and my religion is to do good.Thomas Paine
On my 45th birthday, April 27th, 2023, I retired from brick and mortar after 16 years and sold everything I owned to focus on travel to all 330 Countries, Colonies, Territories & Exclaves by my 60th birthday in 2038.
If I achieve this objective, I may be one of less than 30 people to do it, the 4th woman to do it, the youngest woman to do it by a margin of at least 25 years and the only unmarried, solo and self-financed woman to do it…but, of course, that’s just icing. I’m simply curious and compelled to explore the planet’s people, cultures, and climates.
The 1st Edition of So Far..., my first collection of portraits from my travels, sold out. The expanded 2nd Edition will be released in November, 2025, to mark a major milestone: my mission’s median! 165 destinations visited!
Signed, Limited Edition Prints will be available in September, 2025. If you encounter an image here that moves you, please reach out to request a print.
I’m currently scheduling exhibits and appearances for September 2025 onward. Because I dedicate 4 months per year to new destinations, my time in The US & EU is limited.
I prioritize invitations to destinations I haven’t visited yet, especially those that pose logistical challenges, like the Silk Route, for example.
I can present my project, as a whole, portraits from a specific place, share the story of my kidnapping in Cairo or another experience that suits the niche needs of your community. My history as a philosophy educator and entrepreneur in the travel, wellness and hospitality fields offers fertile fodder for discussion.
I’m confident I can motivate my audience to challenge their limits, establish inspired objectives and actually actualize them.
While I am eager to share my work with EVERYONE, I am motivated to serve Children, Teens, Women, The BIPOC / PGM, LGBTQI & PWD communities.
That said, my work is designed to dispel ignorance, including, especially, my own.
In that spirit, I’ll confidently share the truth of my experience to anyone, particularly those with the power to affect change in the world, which, of course, begins with changing oneself.
If that were enough, though, my archive wouldn’t be filled with portraits of the dispossessed. Those that have more…wealth & influence…need to use it for the liberation and preservation of the planet and the beings that exist because of it, including themselves. Simply put, Power can never replace Love, and Love is the meaning of Life…but what do I know? That’s just, like, what every religion and philosophy says and, so far, my research supports the hypothesis.
