After a civil service career of 37 years that took me to different parts of the world I took early retirement and kept traveling. I have done a lot of traveling in Africa, but also Europe and the UK. My interests are in history, why people live the way they do, and what they eat. In the end, I found, most people are the same, like the same things, and given a chance would live happily together. I am married, have three kids who are now beginning to have their own kids, and sometimes work at writing travel articles, blogs, I edit students' dissertations and some other stuff, and do the odd translation. My hobbies are reading, photography, and spending money on trying to get a sailboat to float. I hope that is enough!
