My blogs
| Introduction | I'm an eclectic blend of interests and life experiences. The things I've done I largely earned and figured out on my own somehow. Life sent me on something of an audacious path from an early age. Somehow I thought, 'well if you try to do something like apply to a private school or go to college you never thought you could get into, it might happen'. Surprisingly, it often did. Not everything was good, it never is, but not everything was bad either. I've lived in various countries and places with different cultures. Each one has done something to enrich my life in ways that went beyond the theoretical, and for that I'm very grateful. I've had people telling me to write about all of this for years, if nothing else but to help others who might be on a similar journey. |
