Wandering why?
A HOME CALLED WORLD
I have been a traveler all my life. Day one started off on a small West Indian island; St. Kitts & Nevis. My parents then moved me around to Bordeaux, France, Kinshasa and Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly known as Zaire,) and Abidjan in Ivory Coast. Then Boarding School in the UK. Until I became a global nomad. A 4th generation global nomad to be precise. I’ve lived in 14 countries, 18 cities. So far. I speak Italian, French and English fluently and have learned 4 more along the way. I’ve visited 38 countries. For me, Home isn’t one particular place; home is constantly changing and ultimately where the heart is.

THE BLOG
In this blog I will attempt to convey the joys and the trials and tribulations of being a global nomad, by writing short stories or more like snippets in time from my past, experiences I’ve had during my travels, stories about my international family and their colorful and interesting history.
