I work for an US Information Technology company and live in Switzerland. Got degrees in Philosophy and History, then went to graduate school in business.
I spent 4 years in Germany with the US Army, and one of those years was spent with the German Army, as I studied German in high school and at the University. Learned to ski in Austria and drove around Europe as time allowed.
My most perfect travel experience was in 1988 when I was able to spend my birthday skking in St. Moritz. At the time, I had no idea that I would be able to return to Switzerland, much less be able to have a home in St. Moritz, where I try to ski at least 40 days a year when not travelling to LHR or DFW.
There are still many mountains to be skied and museums to be visited. If the computer industry craters, I figure I could be a travel guide in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany...
