about travel for life now
Reggie and Sue are based in the New York area and Singapore. We bring together Eastern and Western perspectives and that influences where we go and how we write. Our travel blog is one of the ways we share these experiences with you.
We offer personal reflections on near and far away places with a humanistic worldview, scattered with little-known tidbits, out-of-the-way places, and historical background.
Our trips range from popular venues to hidden treasures. We try to offer new ways of poking around and about our own backyards, our country, and our world.
Through our travels and writing, we seek to understand the history and events–current and not-so-current–that have influenced how people see the world. Travel For Life Now grew out of this process. Our hope is to create multi-cultural conversation through our blog.
