A poignant account of love, grief, and life-changing experiences that are shared globally.
I’m a traveler, a storyteller, and most importantly, a husband who had the good fortune to accompany someone remarkable on life’s trip. I’ve listened to people’s experiences for decades as a retired social worker, but the one I had with Rina was the most significant. In addition to distances, we made memories as we strolled together through cobblestone streets, mountain trails, and peaceful cafés. My ode to love, tenacity, and the wonder of seeing the world together is Travels with Rina.
