Europe '89-'92
In and around Europe
Living in Switzerland for almost five years was a great experience. Few people get to live abroad at any point in their lives and I was able to do it at a very young age. I was also fortunate to travel within Europe a lot during this time with my family. The only problem with this is that at such a young age I really wasn't able to appreciate or retain a lot of things I saw and experienced...which is why I must return this year.
