Shane Robuck
I started traveling and I never wanted to stop. I never will stop. The search for the unseen or the unexpected is a strong draw. The road gets a hold of a man and most times won’t let him go.

FAVORITE FIND:
An Italian solid walnut three drawer serpentine front commode that is so absolutely beautiful that I will never let it out of my sight. Haven’t seen its equal since it became mine some 13 years ago. Making it better is that my father and I found it on one of our first trips to Italy together. He just turned 67 and I couldn’t have done what I’ve done without him. He’s such a big part of all this…

FAVORITE TRAVELS:
Those where I’m learning and experiencing something new, some part of history. Even in oft-traveled places there is always room for exploration and new discoveries. Hot over cold. Coastal over mountains. Traveling on your own is underrated.

FAVORITE QUOTE:
“I can live for two months on a good compliment.”
- Samuel Clemens
