Wendy Justice

Wendy’s love of travel was ignited at a very early age when her grandparents brought back trinkets and tales from India and Thailand. Her family took extensive trips throughout the U.S., and as a young woman she lived for two years in a Bavarian village a stone’s throw from the East German border. To finance her travels, she worked as a bookkeeper, then as a business owner. She later returned to school and obtained an Associate’s Degree as a registered nurse and a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences. She worked as the Director of Professional Services with a hospice in central California for 10 years, until she took an early retirement at the age of 51. In 2005, she and her husband David left the U.S. for Asia, fulfilling her dream of discovering new places, seeking out new adventures, and immersing herself in new cultures. Since that time, she has also fulfilled a life-long dream of becoming a writer. Wendy and David now live in Hanoi and are enjoying exploring the beaches, mountains, and restaurants in their new adopted home in Vietnam.
