Gearing up in June, heading out in July, destination thus unknown. Long-time traveller: 109 countries and counting, planning to return to some of my favourites and make some new ones! World Cups (2006 - Paris/Europe, 2010 - South Africa, 2014 - Brazil, 2018 - Russia, 2022 - Qatar(?!)) Pilgrimages (Nepal/India - 2007, Hajj (starting in Damascus) - 2008, Camino de Santiago - 2009 and 2014, Appalachian Trail - 2018, and many others). Love hostels and camping equally, professionally trained cook, bit of a night owl unless we’re hiking. Languages: (After a TBI in Syria in 2015, I have retained only English and some French and Spanish, but much is coming back to me, especially as I travel and hear it!)
