So I figured one way to understand the book experience is to get to know the author more so I figured it would be a good idea to let you into my life a little. I grew up travelling. My father was a Foreign Service Officer so as a child I lived in seven differant countries including Portugal, Israel, Yugoslavia, and Cyprus. I studied in both Paris and Egypt during college as well. I attended Middlebury College in Vermont and then soon thereafter joined the Peace Corps and was "shipped off" to Côte d'Ivoire. I came back to the states periodically during my youth and because I was never in the U.S. long enough to make a lot of friends I wrote a lot in my spare time, it became a santuary for me and my journal was my best friend. After my journey I came back to the states and have basically been living here since. I am currently working as a placement officer for the Corps in Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Jordan. I also spend time speaking about the african culture that I lived in, and about the Peace Corps in general. OH and free lancing as I have time. I guess that's about all I have to say about me, or at least am willing to say about me. Read on to find out more about my trip!
