WELCOME

Welcome to my Blog!

My work takes me to the far corners of the globe.  I’ve lived in New Zealand, India, Azerbaijan, Macedonia (now known as North Macedonia), Mauritius, Lithuania, and Indonesia, and have over 30 passports stamps.

I love traveling and experiencing different cultures.  I also love my family and home.

Maintaining family ties and continuing family traditions while setting up a new home every few years in far-flug destinations can be a challenge.   For example, some years turkeys (for Thanksgiving) are not available and we have to improvise.  Other years they are, but they won’t fit into the ‘easy-bake’ ovens we so often see overseas!  One year, I even had a turkey with the bones removed!  It tasted good, but it was NOT the showstopper centerpiece I had envisioned!

This blog chronicles my adventures and I’d love for you to tag along.
