Expat experience

Since April 2015

Pretoria, South Africa

Plan on getting to know this wonderful but complicated country.

New experiences.

Since December 2012

Kuala Lumpur, South Africa

Working for U.S. company

Seeing parts of Asia.

KL is a big place and hard to get to know anyone.

Aug 2007 - Aug 2011

Tuscany, Italy

Working with U.S. Navy. Sons went to local Italian schools

The history and beauty all around you in Italy is facinating.

Nothing. From the coffee, the people, the culture, Italy has it all.

Dec 1999 - Jan 2003

London, England

Admin Rep for Navy Personnel at Headquarters U.S. Navy Europe.

Everything about our time there was fantastic. Great travel, great friends, much history and English Football (Arsenal). My son Sean was born there in 2000.

Not as rainy as we were told, but it was the first time Sylvie and I and our boys weren't living close by the sea. Still Loved it.

Dec 1991 - Dec 1993

Stuttgart, Germany

Admin Rep for Navy Personnel at Headquarters U.S. European command.

Central location in Europe was great for travelling, skiing, camping and I met my wifeof 20 yrs on a ski trip in France.

A little cold and foggy at times but really nothing bad to say. Loved it.

Oct 1990 - Oct 1991

Christchurch, New Zealand

Admin Rep for Navy Personnel serving in Operation Deep Freeze, Antarctica at McMurdo Station on Ross Bay.

Abolutely stunning but lonely and freezing. The clearest skies and brightest colors you've ever seen. The Aurora Australis is beauty beyond measure.

4 and 1/2 months of complete darkness is unnerving.

Jul 1960 - Dec 1985

New York, USA

Grew up in city and then lived near Albany. Loved Queens and the Catskills. 40 yrs later I still have friends from both places.

Will always love New York. Especially the changes of the seasons.

Nothing
