About Me

Every day is a new possibility in one’s life. It’s a chance to see something new and become a better citizen of the world.

I’ve spent most of my life dreaming about “the places I’ll go.” I read historical fiction books and study travel guides and maps until the words blur in front of my eyes. I watch movies because they are set in a particular location. In other words, I’m passionate about travel. I want to share my passion for vacationing in places where history practically shimmers around me, where creative geniuses reinvent the way we eat, and where curators have gathered treasures of centuries of habitation of the earth.

When I first grabbed the “got my reservations” domain, I was excited about the possibilities of exploring the metaphor of having reservations. Do I want to talk about travel? Obviously — refer back to the previous paragraph. But I also want to share my interests in art and home decor, in food and restaurants, and to occasionally vent about politics and world affairs. And, as a retired English teacher, I’m fascinated by the written and spoken word and how different mediums influence a culture.

All those years I spent teaching kids how to read and write are now standing on their heads. It’s my turn to dream and applaud and sometimes even judge with my words.

What’s your dream? I’ll hope you’ll share yours with me as we travel together.
