CURRENT MISSION Learning to survive on a student income ABOUT ME I moved to Europe after college and worked in the Netherlands for 12 years as a software developer. During that time, I traveled extensively throughout Europe and took a few vacations to places farther afield. Last year, my husband and I decided to leave software development behind and return to university to pursue PhD degrees in psychology and neuroscience. I've still got travel dreams, but I'm trying to tone them down a bit to fit within a student budget! PHILOSOPHY Do your best in whatever you do. Be nice to others unless they give you a reason not to. Work to live, not the other way around. Be observant, because beauty is everywhere.
