Traveling globally

A tall skinny itinerant social entrepreneur, recently widowed, father of five kids.

Interests: Traveling around the world with my family in a 4x4 truck to see the world that god loves, to eat unusual food {but not too unusual} and to help change the world by telling stories, throwing parties, making friends and giving gifts. I am interested in spirituality and religion as it collides with new media and the emerging culture and this is the subject of my blog.
