World traveler and retired teacher, in search of animals, plants, people, volcanoes, and all the things that make this planet and all planets fascinating. Love family, friends, photography, herping, naturalism, naturism, birding, fishing, hiking, botany, geology, cultural experiences, paleontology, camping, diving, and snorkeling. Few things get me more excited than a snake, a slime mold colony, stumbling on a trilobite, or a growl in the night near my tent. Have degrees in education, geology, and biology. Anyone have airline miles they want to share?
