Robert was born and raised in Southern California, USA, and has been an Ojai Valley resident for 18 years and counting. When recently interviewed, he said “I have managed to live much longer than I ever thought I would. Have yet to make my mark on the world, but it has made a few on me. I like to write but can’t spell. I am a beekeeper who is the son of a beekeeper who was the son of a beekeeper as well. I find it fun to travel and explore far and wide when funds allow. I love people yet they make me crazy some of the time. But a world without love would only contain the things you can buy.” Robert’s Xplorer Journal focuses on his expeditions throughout Southeast Asia from Laos, Thailand to Vietnam.
