About me
Happily living in France (American ex-pat) just outside Paris. Love everything about France (except for the bureaucracy) and love traveling throughout the country. Been everywhere except the north and east. Love travel, megaliths, biking, music, arts/humanities, culture, history, cuisine, wine, archaeology, archaeoastronomy, cosmology, comparative mythology and just plain fun stuff and good times. Currently operating a bike tour guide company that specializes in doing bike day trips from Paris into the nearby countryside focusing on off the beaten path places. I love to show people the beautiful, scenic countryside and charming country villages that aren’t mentioned in guidebooks and that no other traveler will ever see.Recent activity
