Jetset & the International Lifestyle – Blessing or Burden?
My life, and career, to date have given me the opportunity to live, study and work in a number of different countries – specifically, but not necessarily in this order: France, Spain, UK, Croatia (briefly) and USA.

It was a sad day at the DMC when I had my eyes tested and handed in my TX license to replace it with one from NY state…The system could easily by compared to French bureaucracy – and I'll probably be murdered for saying this – and it might even be a little bit worse…… Continue reading Trading in my TX license
