adv. travel, animals, books, movies

After 4 years in Minneapolis, MN and 4 in Japan, Jodie grew up with lots of animals in the gasping-dry heat of the southern Arizona desert. Shy, freckle-faced and gap-toothed, she turned her life around after learning assertiveness. A first trip to Europe, for a month and unexpectedly solo, began her addiction to travel. Stories are of her adventures on all 7 continents. Jodie has been a Ward Clerk on patient wards, a travel agent, secretary/Admin Assistant, caregiver, and chocolate shop owner. She currents resides on Vashon Island, Washington.
