I have lived a life spanning three continents. I am now at a point where i feel the need to commit some of my experiences to paper. I have made sporadic attempts to write an autobiographical memoir, but have always been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of what i remember and the difficulty of sorting out events into a smooth flow that is readable. Looking forward to sharing my story with others.
