Welcome

I've had the great fortune to be able to travel. People in our world are always revealing small views of their lives and goals, living in cities or villages. Come see some of what I've seen.

Ancient Kingdoms

Gate at Wat Thom

On OAT's Ancient Kingdoms: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, we were immersed in the vibrant cultures that have emerged in the wakes of lost empires. Traveling the Indochina peninsula through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, we connected with locals who shared their homes, markets, and schools with us. We slipped into daily life for A Day in the Life of a Laotian village, where we met young schoolchildren and Hmong villagers. We experienced the quiet tranquility of the early morning alms-giving ceremony with local monks.

Morocco

Call to Prayer

OAT's Morocco Sahara Odyssey Tour and extension to Chefchaouen is an adventure in cities, villages and the Sahara Desert, mixing Berber, French, and Spanish cultures in a Muslim parliamentary kingdom. We stayed in conventional hotels, riads, and a desert camp. We met a variety of people from many walks of life - students, nomads, migrants, city dwellers, artisans and more.

Iceland

Pompei of the North

We finally made it to Iceland on OAT's Untamed Iceland tour and extension to Westman Islands after years of procrastinating about going. It turned out to be fascinating in many ways. It's a land of volcanoes and glaciers, puffins and whales.

New Zealand and Australia

Queenstown, New Zealand

Travelling nearly half way around the world, we visited New Zealand and Australia on OAT's New Zealand: Natural Wonders North & South tour and extension to Sydney and Great Barrier Reef. We walked, hiked, paddled, snorkled and tasted wine - all very civilized.

Machu Picchu & Galapagos

Machu Picchu

Following in the footsteps of the ancients on OAT's Machu Picchu & Galapagos tour, we walked among the massive ruins of the “Lost City of the Incas" and experienced Peruvian culture in the Sacred Valley. On Ecuador's Galápagos Islands, we swam in unspoiled coves with friendly sea lions. We found a living laboratory of Darwin’s theory of evolution in these "Enchanted Isles."
