The listed locations had religious, cultural, and/or historical
value. Throughout these travels I remained outside of any organized groups or
tours and traveled alone in order to meet and live like the locals whenever
possible. Religion and culture, both ancient and modern were my focus. These
experiences were very fulfilling and required a great amount of work, along with
hardships. More recent travel experiences are not included here. I have lived
within Europe for some six years and traveled throughout almost all major cities
there. This included many months exploring Eastern Europe: Russia, Poland, Czech
Republic, Hungary, Romania, etc.
