She has made numerous trips around the world with her trusty blue backpack. She has been an university teacher in China, a dive instructor in Belize, and a coffee picker in Nicaragua. She has stumbled into an open latrine in Mali, urinated on a landmine in Cambodia (no it didn't go off), gotten altitude sickness on the Tibetan plateau. In San Diego she teaches, practices yoga , experiments with cooking vegetarian meals, and is always looking for the next adventure with her three year old son. She can be reached at cyndaf@gmail.com.
