From Paris to Detroit, then to Los Angeles. From Los Angeles to New York. While in NYC I love to go to Brooklyn for their street markets. So many good buys and so little time!

Next is Costa Rica. Ahhhh! Fly me down any time!

Then a hop and a skip across the Pond to Antibes in the south of France, for some last time in the sun. In Europe anyway…but there is always…

Mexico in February is to die for. Oleanders are in bloom, Cantinas are open 24/7, Tequila is local…Bueno!

A midnight swim in the outdoor pool is amazing…Olé! It’s tough but somebody has to do it. Come and join me!

Then I visit Turks & Caicos Islands for some leisurely beach time. The night skies full of stars are absolutely incredible.

if I’m not dreaming of the Alaskan wilderness, I’m picturing myself in Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley where nature still feels raw and untamed. Protecting these wild places is something I deeply care about.

But my adventurous spirit isn’t just for the great outdoors. I also have a deep love for city life, especially abroad.

Fall finds me in Paris shopping and sitting in the cafés watching the world go by. Along the Left Bank are stalls full of books, curios and flower stalls that draw colourful crowds that is real Paris.

At the end of the day, I live for new experiences and I’ll try just about anything once because…why not? Life’s too short to stay in one lane.

Last but not least…

6. Venus & Adonis is a collection of erotic poems by William Shakespeare, that appeared in print before any of Shakespeare's plays were published, but not before some of his plays had been acted on stage.

Venus & Adonis poems were written in Elizabethan English, which in this case becomes a hidden reward for visiting me: Can you, as the learned guest, write me an email at salone@salone.io and quote back the poem you liked. There are 7 of them. Why? You‘ll see!
