A Room With A View.
A Life Full of Stories.
It All Started With A Dream.
Since childhood, I’ve carried a vision of having a “room with a view” — a place from which I could write stories about the world and the journeys that shaped me.
My parents often spoke of places they had traveled and experienced firsthand. Perhaps that planted the idea that one day I, too, would have stories of my own to tell from faraway places.
And voilà… hHere we are in Hungary.
01 — THE FIRST CHAPTER
From Motion Pictures to Food & Wine
After retiring early and securing my Motion Picture Pension, I wasn't quite ready to stop working. I soon found myself in Ad Sales for Food & Wine Magazine. The perks were delicious and eye-opening. I organized dinners for advertising clients and met chefs who, at the time, were beginning to feel more like celebrities than restaurateurs.
02 — THE ELEVATOR
That chance meeting changed the trajectory of my life forever.
An unexpected meeting with the publisher of Global Traveler Magazine in an elevator led to a pitch meeting with Thai Tourism — and eventually, an invitation to Thailand on a FAM trip during the early days of Medical Tourism.
03 — THAILAND
Where Travel Became Storytelling
Thailand opened a completely new chapter. I was invited to participate in a competition for the best blog about medical tourism, an experience that eventually gave birth to BBA Blog and inspired the creation of Boomer Broads Abroad.
04 — THE ENTREPRENEURIAL YEARS
From Stories to New Adventures
Along the way came CME-Abroad, created during the Obama era, followed by Medical Tourism Lite, originally envisioned as a blog focused on dental tourism. As the world changed, so did the stories — including the arrival of COVID and a growing awareness that perhaps we were all running out of time to experience the places and moments that matter.
WHERE THE JOURNEY LED
Finding Peace. Finding Healing. Finding Our Way.
Today, Miracle Healing Waters brings together tales from my travels in search of peace, wellness, and healing around the world.
