MegSenior Tax Manager
From Seoul, Korea

Although I live in the city of San Francisco, I sometimes like playing a tourist with my family, riding a double-decker, hopping on and off here and there. During my usual spare time, however, I much prefer savoring my solitude, reading a Jane Austen novel, and listening to my favorite radio station, KDFC, which regretfully is rare. My pre-teen daughter is so energetic that she keeps me in motion all the time, or else, her activities. There is one place, though, that I can be equally energetic as my daughter. My favorite vacation destination, Maui! I can swim and snorkel with my daughter all day long (but not my poor husband, who gets more exhausted here because now he has to deal with two unruly girls)!
