She left home to finish high school, then worked as a secretary for five years before taking up a career in accounting; much of her free time was spent outdoors in the back country. In 1996, she and her partner, David Ball, sailed across the Pacific Ocean, and for the next fourteen years, they lived on their boat in the South Pacific and SE Asia.ver menos
