Travel

I love to travel the world with my wife, Katherine. We've recently toured Japan and Korea, visited the Pyramids and Valley of the Kings in Egypt, and explored Petra in Jordan. In past years we've hiked the Everest Base Camp Trekking Route in the Himalayas, visited some Mayan pyramids, and explored an Icelandic glacier.
