I was born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium, and traveled around the world during a 20 year career in Up With People. My husband Scott and I settled down in Boulder, CO to raise 2 children. After a 6 year stint as head of school for a Montessori School and a 17 year career in real estate, I am happily retired. I have many friends, and I love to travel and to read. We visited Kenya and the Masai Mara for the first time in February of 2023 and fell in love with the country, the Maasai people and the wildlife. It was an adventure unlike any we have experienced, and we certainly want to return  and see how we can continue to support Basecamp Explorer and Basecamp Explorer Foundation USA.
