I have lived in the Philadelphia area on and off all my life. For me traveling is always involved with visiting family and friends. I have traveled and lived for several years in Europe, particulary Italy, since I am Italian to stay with family there. I have been several times to New Zealand in the past 8 years after my brother moved to Dunedin. I have cycled all over the South Island. There are still many places I would like to visit. I was lucky to be hired by Ian Swain in April 2008 and I have enjoyed learning about the countries that I have not been to yet.
