I've been living in Bavaria, Germany since June 2003. I live with my husband, two beagles, two cats, and saltwater fishies. I've been practicing yoga daily for 11 years now; it helps keep me sane. I've been a vegetarian since age 7, though nobody else in my family was ever one. Although I tend to believe in some type of God, I'm proud to be agnostic and not follow any religion for over 15 years now. I have a BA and MA in sociology from Ohio University.
