The past nine-month, the longest I have been a nomad — living out of a suitcase, catching up and reconnecting with many friends from different words I have been a part of and making new ones — has been very very enjoyable, among other things! And like all good things, it has come to an end and I am now looking at staying put for a while in the US.
Until further notice, I am available in the US for presentations on a host of topics and I am also available to work as a teacher/educator or something else — I am open to suggestions! 🙂
