About

I have had many experiences living over seas, Egypt, Hong Kong, Ukraine, went to school in Italy and lived in other courtiers for short spans. I have an apartment in St. Wolfgang Am See, Austria because many of these countries I was not able to have good medical facilities and Austria has high standard of health treatment. Also a great place to feel relaxed and safe. I have now retired and use my place on the lake during the summers. Since I have moved far away from where I grew up, S.C., I have moved twenty times and leave behind many friends. This is why I am reaching out to this website. I would like to make friends with other who are, or have been, an expat. I feel to be different than most who never leave the state they grew. Not sure why but when I went back to visit my family I was talking about how it felt to be a South Carolinian and my mother jumped into the conversation to tell me I was NOT a South Carolinaian. I asked why and see told me, "YOU LEFT". I have left many a country does this mean I'm an alien? The one very special, useful adventure this travel has given me is what I write about. I have 3 books published and one more very soon to be published, but this writing is not my goal. I also write screen plays/ movie scripts. Moving around does not keep me from writing, that is if I have my computer an the internet handy. But as I was beginning to explain this advantage has a down side. . . hard to keep friends. Here I am hoping to find expat friends whom I can relate. I'm 40 km from Salzburg part of the year and the other part in Tucson, AZ. I'm a good listener, and write a good story, terrible cook... no I take that back...I don't live to cook but if you are hungry I'll cook for you. Would like to for your to contact me on this site. Not sure if we can give out email address but should find out as this profiling goes on. Barbara
Interests: boating, playing with my dog., I like to paint pictures, driving fast
