About me
High school English teacher/world traveler. I love meeting people on my travels, reading, skiing, walking my Airedale +good food . I was born in Indonesia, grew up there and in Thailand and New Zealand, was educated in international schools and then university in the States. Love Vancouver and Amsterdam, where most of my family live – and also Switzerland, where I’ve now lived for 30 years. Being a teacher I have 14 weeks vacation, most of which I spend traveling around the world or skiing and hiking in the Swiss Alps. Greatest accomplishments so far: two sons in their 20s + Kilimanjaro at age 50 Oct. ’02Recent activity
