His writing and travel passions continue to collide in numerous publications around the globe. JVS received his undergraduate degree in Brazilian Studies from the School for International Training in Vermont. He studied German at Albert-ludwigs-universität in Germany and completed the full curriculum at Landmark Education in Los Angeles. A self-described “progressive traveler” – his personal and writing interests include GLBT issues, foreign languages, spiritual studies, tropical beaches, spa treatments, human rights and green technologies.
