Places I've been
I've lived in MI - MA - FL - TN and in 2000 moved to SCOTLAND. Since Oct 2007 my husband and I have been in UGANDA where we will live for 2 years. After the volunteering placement is finished we will return to Scotland which is the place I consider my home. Places I've been on holiday: Australia, South Africa, various European countries with plans for New Zealand and a tour of the west coast of the US.
More about me

Mzungu (mazungoo) means 'white person' in Kiswahili.  The term is used in many African countries and is not used in a derogatory manner.  We often hear people calling out 'mzungu, mzungu' just to get our attention or greet us or to try to sell us something.  I am a mzungu living in Uganda for 2 years with my husband who has volunteered with VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas - UK).

I am American and my husband is Scottish.  In 2007 I became a dual US/UK citizen with two passports and I now have voting rights in two countries.  Our permanent home is on a lovely coastal road in Argyll in west Scotland.  I have 2 adult sons and an adorable granddaughter who live in the US.  My husband has an adult daughter who lives in England but hopes to move back to Scotland.
