World Lit Up

I like going places.

I was born in Austria, spent four years in the States and then lived in Germany until I was ten.  My family traveled all over western Europe during that time.  When we moved to Virginia, I felt more German than American.  But we stayed put and I quickly adapted to fast food and TV.  I left for college on the other side of the state and after graduation kept moving west: Texas, Utah, Montana.  Missoula has been my home for nine years now – the longest I’ve ever lived in one place.

Being firmly rooted doesn’t mean I haven’t branched out.  I’ve seen a lot of America, a little of Canada and a snippet of Mexico.  And last year, two weeks worth of Italy.

But most of the time, I’m at home reading.
