From Anne Marie (Mickey):
Hey, I was the exchange student from Belgium... So much has changed since those days. I returned to Belgium and finished school and during my 20s I mostly travelled and worked as a temp.
I went to Australia at some point to meet my uncle who had moved there before I was born. I instantly loved it there, but it still took quite a few years until opportunity knocked. So in 2002 I moved to Sydney to work at the Belgian Consulate. In the mean time I became an accredited translator (Dutch <> English) and started doing some translation work on the side. 3 years ago I took a leap of faith and started my own freelance translation business and things are going very well. I have customers all over the world and I really enjoy the work and the flexibility of working from home.
Last year I moved to Coffs Harbour, 600 km north of Sydney, a small coastal town. I love it here and every Saturday I work at the Pet Porpoise Pool to work (read: play) with the dolphins and seals. It's good fun!
Anyway, I might travel to the US later this year for the reunion, that would be fun! I look forward to seeing everyone again!
Mickey (nobody calls me Anne Marie now)
