I am an international ; born in Japan, Dutch by birth right, with English as my "native" language. I have lived in 8 countries and many more cities. I now live in the Netherlands for the first time ! Because of my history, I have grappled deeply with issues around displacement, identity, nationality, and belonging. Experience, personal therapy, philosophy and sports have all contributed to my becoming comfortable Being a Stranger in a perpetually Strange Land. But isn't that life?
I am infinitely curious and have a deep love of nature.
