Lived at least 9 years outside the USA in the past 2 decades. Started as an English teacher abroad after doing several study abroad groups in Salzburg, Austria, Cork, Ireland, and 6 weeks in Tiujana, Mexico. After several years in teaching I did some volunteer work in Guatemala and took master's courses in Thailand for a year. And have since done 2 masters certificates: one in Digital Marketing, and one in Project Management. After that I spent 18 months in Vienna, Austria and there got into German to English translation. Enjoying life in San Francisco and currently work in sales while my free time involves learning Chinese and riding my green vespa across the town in search of all this city offers in terms of live music from Jazz to ethnic, finding fascinating reads in hole in the wall book stores , thick cappuccinos, and tasty wine
