About Heather: Heather grew up as a military kid. During her tour, she lived on the Gulf of Mexico, both coasts, and a few states in between. She has visited or lived in 48 of the continental states, has driven cross-country twice (once for a job interview!); and her journeys included Denver (highest elev.) and Death Valley (lowest elev.). She climbed Vedauwoo in Wyoming, and still regrets not wearing her sunscreen. Heather has lived as a full-time RVer, and flexed her creative problem solving skills in winterizing for sub-zero temperatures. She has a passion for synthesizing, organizing, and simplicity; and loves the challenge of turning any complicated process into a one-page guide.

Languages: Chinese and French.

Hobbies:  Freshwater aquariums. Her current passion is nano tanks.
