laurel robbins author of monkey mountain maultaschen I am Laurel, a Canadian gal who loves traveling, hiking, diving – pretty much exploring our planet anyway I can.  After meeting a very nice German boy, (J.P.) on a shark diving trip in Costa Rica,  who I married, I moved to Germany,  where I am now living and writing about my European adventures.  Prior to moving to Germany, I’ve also lived in Thailand, S. Korea and the U.S.A.

Before moving to Germany I was in a management position at a university and am now a sessional online instructor for two Canadian universities.   I try not to say “eh” to often.

I love Monkeys, Mountains and Maultaschen which you can read about and hence the name for this blog.
