Why I do what I do:
“I’m a writer and teacher who has lived in fourteen cities, in six countries, on three continents, and am fascinated by the vast difference between traveling to another country versus living there. I’m keenly interested in the craft of writing and in documenting how living in other cultures and making friends in each country has changed me and made me who I am.”
