My Foreign Service Life
I've spent most of my career—that's 35 years—living and working overseas for the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service. My coworkers and myself were responsible for carrying out U.S. foreign policy and helping U.S. citizens abroad. With this podcast, I'm starting at the beginning - or really slightly before the beginning—to walk through what it was like being 27, with a small child, moving overseas to Africa for the first time. Join my son and I as in each episode, I read my story and we talk through the challenges overcome and the joys discovered in My Foreign Service Life.
