World Travels

I’ve done a lot of traveling in this amazing world, but want to do a lot more!

Throughout my time in the Far East I lived and worked with the local people, teaching them my language and culture and learning theirs. Since I had no financial subsistence, I supported myself by teaching English in Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan where I also studied the Chinese language. During my time abroad I found myself constantly helping others but most significant was my work in Calcutta, volunteering for Mother Theresa in her home for the sick and dying. While in Calcutta I also worked for Dr. Jack who gave up his practice in England in order to set up a street clinic which provides bandages, medical exams, medicine, vitamins, bananas, soap and sometimes even money for the poor.
