An avid globetrotter who has visited more than 65 countries, she has a penchant for off-season travel.

Some of her most memorable experiences have been sharing a bottle of champagne with distant French cousins in Lorraine, learning how to milk goats in a sleepy Bulgarian village, and ringing in the Vietnamese New Year with a Hanoi family. She welcomes any opportunity to practice French and German, and she loves delving into a place’s history and artisanal food scene. A former education administrator and training specialist, Tricia has a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a master’s degree in international relations. She and her husband, Shawn, married in the ruins of a snowy German castle. They’ve been known to escape winter by basing themselves in coastal Croatia or Southeast Asia.

Travels With Tricia 
Great shot s as ever, love the bird’s eye view shot
Thanks, Mark – it was a fun change of pace snapping from our hotel’s almost-rooftop breakfast room!
lovely shot Tricia – dream like :)
Marina, thanks. :) It was a lovely afternoon to dream away while on the Delta, even though there was a ton of hustling and bustling going on around us!
lovely composition.
Hi Sonali – thanks & happy weekend!
Love the hats photo. Very simple setting, but the oddity of both hats contributes to the whimsy of the photo. Have a good weekend. Cheers.
Well said & thank you, Cabbie Notes! In which part of the world will the weekend find you? :)
I’ll be enjoying the weekend in California. I’m looking forward to good warm weather and hopefully a lot of photo opportunities. Thanks for asking. Cheers.
Enjoy! Here’s hoping you have sunny skies just as we did in Germany today. In Cali, I suspect that’s already the case, though. :)
Again, hats off to you Tricia. Virginia
As they say in Vietnam, “Cám ơn.” — thank you!
