Introduction

Originally from the US, have lived in the UK and now settled for good in Belgium. I'm a stand up comedienne working mostly in the BeNeLux region. I'm married to a Belgian guy and we have lots of cats - currently 10 but that number can change as we are always rescuing new ones. I live in Gent (a.k.a. "Ghent") which is a pretty fabulous town.

I joined expat.com on 07 January 2008.

I can speak English, Dutch, some French
Interests reading, writing, travelling, compining about wear, vegan cooking, critter rescue

Expat experience

Since September 2004

Ghent, Belgium

Stand up comedienne, writer, critter rescuer, aspiring vegan chef, painter, Belgian Huisvrouw.

Calm people, ancient buildings, cobblestones, Frituurs, 1000s of different beers.

Having to kiss everyone three times.

Jan 2000 - Sept 2004

London, England

Stand up comedy

Huge excitement, lots of travel around the UK, lots of historical sites to visit, fun pubs.

The food and the customer service (or lack thereof)

Sept 1900 - Jan 2000

Los Angeles, USA

Stores that stayed open all night, Taco Bell, bowling alleys.

The noise, the inundation of pop culture, the insularity and the gluttony.
