PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

General Description – I also love diving into other cultures whether across the US or around the World.  I moved around the USA (including Hawaii) every 1.5 years from age 3 – 18yrs due to my father’s work.  Then I went backpacking across Europe by myself after college.  I lived in many US locations and traveled internationally through my work.  And most recently (2001) my husband and I took a year off from corporate America to travel extensively through 3 countries.  As soon as our 3 kids are a bit more travel-friendly we’ll be off around the world again; for now, the USA will do.

Traveling – Western Europe (France, Spain, England, Italy, etc.), Eastern Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, etc.), Scandinavia (Sweden, Denmark), Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga.

Language – I was once fluent in Spanish, probably could be again.  I know lots of words in other languages so I could get along in my travels (including American Sign Language).  And I’ve had the excellent experience of traveling to other countries where no one spoke English.

Hobbies – Sports, Photography, Wood-working.
