I spent much of my life traveling, volunteering and teaching English around the world, while I raised 3 children in New Mexico. I was a tapestry weaver, showing my work in galleries of northern New Mexico. My other passion is skiing which I have done, including teaching skiing, for over 60 years. Now I am writing a book called ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN - 50 years of discovery through travel. Up the Norwegian Coast is chapter 2.
