Food , love and an open mind bring the world and people together
This page is dedicated to the late, great Anthony Bourdain. I never met Mr. Bourdain but I believe he did his best to show the world that hate has no place in the global economy. As someone who loves to travel, explore and learn I believe good can be found anywhere if you look hard enough. I want my supporters and followers to know I will fight for you. Please fight for yourself, it may be lonely, it may be hard, it may dark at times but in order to survive you must be willing to try. You must be strong, resilient and make your opinion known with your dollars because that is the only true tool, "We The People" have that compel the powerful and wealthy to hear us.
South Korea
A picture of my Band-Aid in South Korea.
I cut my finger on an umbrella and the super sweet ladies in the store came to my immediate aid and put neosporin and a band-aid on my figure for me even though I didn't buy anything. They were so warm and caring I felt terrible for not buying anything because I was too embarrassed after bleeding all over their store. I hope someone makes it up for me. All I know the store was on the left side somewhere near that big KB Building.

한국에서의 반창고 사진. 나는 우산에서 손가락을 자르고 가게의 슈퍼 달콤한 숙녀들이 내 즉각적인 도움을 받아서 아무것도 구입하지 않았지만 네오스포린과 반창고를 넣어 주었다. 그들은 너무 따뜻하고 보살 피었습니다. 왜냐하면 나는 그들의 가게 곳곳에 피가 난 후에 너무 당황했기 때문에 아무것도 사지 않으면 끔찍한 느낌이 들었습니다. 나는 누군가가 나를 위해 그것을 바란다. 내가 아는 건 그 가게가 그 큰 KB 빌딩 근처의 어딘가에 있었기 때문이다.

Heart shaped blood drop
Could be down this street too. I can't remember because this was a last minute hopper flight decision and we were not dressed or prepared for the fridge cold temperatures we encountered.
A big THANK YOU to the young man who helped me with Train Tickets @ the train station and to the beautiful lady who let me out of the stall when my ticket wouldn't let me out.
A big Thank you to whoever invented those awesome heated toilet seats, Love them, wish I had one!
A pop-up protest occurred that day and we had to walk for miles because we couldn't get a taxi. That experience was Not so wonderful.
Train Tickets @ 기차역과 나의 티켓이 나를 실망시키지 않을 때 나를 실망 시켰던 아름다운 아가씨에게 나를 도왔던 청년에게 큰 감사를드립니다.

My Tavolo 24 Meal made it all better!
SPAIN
Where do I begin? So many kindnesses, so many people to thank.
Barcelona
I need to start by thanking the women who helped me the most last. Elizabeth at the Tryp Barcelona Aeropuerto Hotel. She was a lifesaver.
For Elizabeth in English: Thanks for saving us. We are very grateful to you for helping us by asking the kitchen staff to make a bland chicken soup for us.
In Español for Elizabeth:
Gracias por salvarnos. Le estamos muy agradecidos por ayudarnos al pedirle al personal de cocina que haga una sopa de pollo suave para nosotros.
Mallorca
Dr. Marcos Zamora Gonzalez & Dr. Hugo Ortega
Thank you for your help and service. We probably wouldn't have made it home if it had not been for the both of you. I hope your island receives more funding for medical services not only for those living on the island but also for the unexpected emergencies that can arise for tourists like us. I hope the CEO's of the large hotels on Mallorca consider their worker's health and that of their clients and the community at large when planning their budgets for 2020. This is why I believe board diversity is necessary and so is Socioeconomic diversity in the C-suite. Know your Clients. #Boarddiversity #SocioeconomicC-Suite #Knowyourclients
In Español:
Dr. Marcos Zamora Gonzalez and Dr. Hugo Ortega,
Gracias por su ayuda y servicio. Probablemente no hubiéramos llegado a casa si no hubiera sido por ustedes dos. Espero que su isla reciba más fondos para servicios médicos, no solo para quienes viven en la isla, sino también para las emergencias inesperadas que pueden surgir para turistas como nosotros. Espero que los directores ejecutivos de los grandes hoteles de Mallorca tengan en cuenta la salud de sus trabajadores y la de sus clientes y la comunidad en general cuando planifiquen sus presupuestos para 2020. Por eso creo que la diversidad de la junta es necesaria y también la diversidad socioeconómica en la suite C . Conozca a sus clientes. #Boarddiversity # SocioeconomicC-Suite #Knowyourclients
Madrid and other parts of Spain

Aranda De Duero, Burgos: Rafael Casa Florencio
Address: Calle Isilla, 14, 09400 Aranda de Duero, Burgos, Spain
Rafael: You know this is long overdue. Thank you so much for your hospitality. I tried to go back twice to thank you again for your generosity and kindness but circumstances beyond my control got in the way. I hope this makes up for it a little.
If anyone reading this decides to visit Aranda De Duero, I hope you will make a side trip to Casa Florencio for a meal. I had the best Jamon in my life there and my entire meal was a delight. If you are lucky, (and kind) Rafael might even give you a tour of the underground caves. Super cool experience!
In Español:
Rafael: sabes que esto es hace mucho tiempo atrasado Muchas gracias por su hospitalidad. Traté de volver dos veces para agradecerte nuevamente por tu generosidad y amabilidad, pero las circunstancias que están fuera de mi control se interponían en tu camino. Espero que esto lo compense un poco. Si alguien que lee esto decide visitar Aranda de Duero, espero que haga un viaje a Casa Florencio para una comida. Allí tuve el mejor Jamon de mi vida y toda mi comida fue una delicia. Si tienes suerte, (y amable) Rafael podría incluso hacerte un recorrido por las cuevas subterráneas. Súper experiencia genial!

So wonderful to share an elegant meal with kind and generous locals.
Français:
Si merveilleux de partager un repas élégant avec des gens du pays gentils et généreux.
A sincere thanks to the young men who helped us as well by telling us walking to our destination would be crazy.
In Français: Un remerciement sincère aux jeunes hommes qui nous ont également aidés en nous disant de nous rendre à notre destination serait fou.
