I have now visited 141 countries on all 7 continents. I just returned in December 2015 from my latest travel adventure on an expedition ship, visiting 7 remote island countries in the South Pacific, meeting local families, and SCUBA diving on pristine reefs. My goal is to visit all 193 independent countries in the world. At home [Maryland] in between my foreign trips, I practice yoga several days a week, am learning to speak Spanish, and volunteer for Chevy Chase at Home, helping older folks age in place."
