Profile

Hi! I'm Shannon and travel and music are my passions. I love John Lennon's lyrics "imagine all the people sharing all the world." I'm a romantic dreamer yet a realist, so I understand that with all the chaos and intolerant minds on the planet this vision of the world isn't possible. I go through life as a cheerful loner, a keen observer and with an open mind. I don't understand or relate to people who hate merely on the basis of ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation. I treat everyone with respect until they give me a reason not to.

I'm interested in non-Western cultures and ways of thinking. Questions about America? Write me! I'm a lawyer by day but travel frequently, and at all other times I'm dreaming of some other place to be besides my desk. I love photography and have a fancy camera that I barely know how to use. Patience while I learn!

I try to respond to most comments and messages. I'm always interested in different or unique perspectives, but will not tolerate rudeness or harassment of others.

I'm open to working with companies who wish to promote travel related services, or are interested in an American's perspective of their city, infrastructure or local culture. Although I write in English, I have a very large demographic of Russian speaking readers, due to my special interest in this region of the world. You can send proposals to me through Dreamwidth or my personal email shanrocks75@gmail.com. I'm eager, curious and very flexible! :)

Countries visited: Australia, China (Hong Kong), Thailand, England, Scotland, Wales, Belgium, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Ukraine, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Mexico, Israel/West Bank, Georgia, Armenia and many States in America.
