I was born and raised in New York and left the continental US for Hawaii for what originally was a post-college boondoggle.  A three year stay in Hawaii then led me to Taiwan in 1993 for what was only going to be a two year work stint.  I’m currently still on that ‘two-year’ work stint and since then got married, adopted a dog, had two children, and have made my home in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing.   I’m currently residing in Shanghai.

After many years wearing the corporate hat for a global children’s television brand, I put on the creative and entrepreneur hat, and launched Paper Tiger Shanghai in 2007 to fulfill my own unsuccessful search in China for gift paper that reflected Chinese culture.

This blog is chance for me to share so many beautiful things I come across in my daily life living abroad.  I hope you enjoy it!
