Today, she is one of them!  For years she and husband Jan divided their time between Holland and Southern California, where Jan worked as a race car technician in off-road racing and Marja started her writing journey.  Traveling A life of traveling & adventure took them all over the world. They visited countries like Nepal, India and Malaysia in the Far East but also Bolivia, Peru and Chili in South America.
