Autorenporträt
John R. Swatridge has made travel his life. As a licensed travel agent, he regularly sets up tour itineraries to South America, North America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. He also personally guides those tours! Through work and privately, he has traveled extensively. As a Geographer, Swatridge taught a tourism course at the high school level for many years, and regularly enjoys speaking about his experiences to interested groups at libraries, travel clubs, schools, and other organizations. Swatridge lives in Kitchener, Ontario, with his wife Pamela. He has two children, Karli and Brendan, who he has had the joy of taking on several exotic trips, instilling in them an intense desire to travel and explore the world. When he is not traveling he is usually still in motion, whether that be playing ice hockey, pickleball, tennis, biking, golfing or tending to his beloved tomatoes. If he does sit still, it is usually on a piano bench or reading books at his cottage on Lake Superior. His passionate hope is that all readers of this book are motivated to explore the most fascinating and mind-blowing place of all----the EARTH!
