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.
I can be reached at: Email: info [at]monkeysandmountains.com, on Twitter or on my Facebook page Monkeys, Mountains and Maultaschen.
I'm Laurel, a former Program Director from Canada now living in Munich, Germany. I love traveling, diving, and hiking. I'm also an animal enthusiast with a special affinity for monkeys, cats and sharks.
