I am a retired professor of political science and international relations. I enjoy teaching very much and have won several teaching awards. I am married to a wonderful person, have two children, a daughter-in-law, and a grand daughter. I am an inveterate traveler and have visited 72 countries so far. I have lived in Italy, India and Russia, and taught or lectured at universities in India, Pakistan and Russia. India is my favorite travel destination; I have been there six times, and have spent extended periods of time in New Delhi, Chennai and Kerala. I love mountains, snowfall, hiking and skiing. I have hiked in the Alps, Nepali Khumbu, Indian Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Appalachians, and Adirondacks, and have skied throughout the
Alps and the United States. I like to share my travel adventures with others and my blogs will do that.
