WHERE IN THE WORLD AM I?

My husband and I have no permanent home. Instead, we continuously travel the world, even as I keep writing my books and screenplays. Above is a map of our journey so far.

Currently, we're in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia.

We’re loving this vibrant, up-and-coming city in Eastern Europe, between Russia and Armenia. This is our eighth major “digital nomad” stop, after previously living for several months each in Miami, Florida; Birgu, Malta; Matera, Italy; Bansko, Bulgaria; Koh Lanta, Thailand; Hoi An, Vietnam; and Gimentz, Switzerland. And we’ve stopped in lots of other countries and cities along the way!
