About the Author

Having studied French and Spanish but never having touched foreign soil, Kathryn Dickerson felt something was missing. She finally felt whole when she moved from the United States to Germany in her twenties. She then traveled to as many places as possible, her heart growing fuller with each adventure. Later, she became an educator of literature and world geography, teaching that the world was a wonderful place and that most humans are good and kind and welcoming. Kathryn, along with her husband, encouraged their children to explore. Together they traveled America, some of Europe, the United Kingdom, and Central and South America. She is happy when on an adventure, under the big skies of the world, meeting interesting people, learning different languages, eating new foods, and adopting the local customs and etiquette. However, Kathryn is truly fulfilled when she can share these experiences with others.
