I've visited over 60 countries and lived in six, across four continents. I love traveling and sharing my exploits.

After spending months in places like Playa del Carmen and Ajijic (near Lake Chapala, Guadalajara), my family and I have been living for the past four years in the Yucatan and enjoying this fabulous part of Mexico.

I've written many travel blogs for other travel sites over the years before starting Wonky Compass. I have three books published on Amazon.
