Annette Hendley

I am working hard on finishing my master's degree. Will be back writing soon.

It is sometimes hard to be me. I am restless, inquisitive and filled with questions.

I read Brecht and books about the brain for fun.

Many professions crossed my path of which being a drama teacher was the most challenging, but also the most rewarding. I keep in contact with my students and find great joy in their achievements.

I hold a couple of degrees, but life experience taught me far more than any degree could ever have done.

My gypsy soul hopes to always be able to travel and experience new places and people. Africa use to be my playground and now I am tackling Europe.
