Passionate traveler. Driven through Europe, lived in Central Europe, explored Asia, especially as I lived there in several countries, wandered the Middle East...what more to say, that I love the experiences and excitement of new cultures, including my own.
Lived in 9 countries over the world in the last 30 years (we were expatriates for a French International Bank) but love and know my own country well. Fluent French speaker, due to being married to one!
Having lived in their own countries, makes me understand people from all ways of life: culture, religion, food, politics and whatever you want...
Fun, adventurous, easy going. Love food, wine, the Bush....
Play a mean game of tennis, and Bridge!
