| Introduction | I grew up as a military kid, living in dozens of places to include Iceland, New Mexico, and South Carolina. My childhood experiences gave me an interest in travel and learning about new and different cultures. So after graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1999, I joined the U.S. Air Force to see more of the world. I served 7 years as an intelligence officer, either living in, deployed to, or visiting over 30 countries during that time. My favorite places of all: Israel, Normandy, Croatia, and Egypt. My least favorite place: Mallorca. After separating from the Air Force and after a short stint as a Department of Defense analyst, I opened my own business as a professional organizer called Clutterbugs. And although I'm no longer in the military, my hubby Mack is. We are currently assigned to the United Kingdom. No kids - just one spoiled basset hound named Tux. |
