Who is the Professor?  I am a two time breast cancer survivor, university professor, wife, mother of two fur babies, and have been bitten by the wunderlust bug, and have traveled extensively throughout the US and much of Europe.  I am an amateur photographer, vlogger, and travel writer.

What have I learned in my travels?  Three things bind humanity…food, lights, and friendship.  Food is our cultural language.  Food is best when shared and enjoyed with others. Every culture uses lights in some form to mark special occasions. They are symbols of celebrations, both of happiness and sorrow. Friendship is not bound by language or passport color.  Friendships start with simple smiles and desire to learn more about an individual. My hope is that this blog will bring our world a little closer together and belay any fears readers may have about exploring it for themselves.
