I’ve been a teacher for over 30 years. I’ve taught Texas, US and World History. I have been a tour Guide’s to small groups for years in places such as London, Washington DC, Paris, Los Angeles, Jerusalem, and other smaller places.
I have traveled extensively to 19 countries and lived in four countries. When I’ve traveled I always take in sites and experience the culture of a place. I love to share what I’ve learned with others.
As a teacher I always look for educational experiences, illustrations, examples, anecdotes and other interesting things others would like to know. As a photographer I take photos to document my trip but also to provide information for others later on.
I visited San Antonio first when I was 17 years old. Since then I visited several times and started living here two years ago. I often go to the Alamo to visit and enjoy the cultural setting there. Reviews
