I'm probably not your average Vermont vacation home landlord. I consider myself to be from New York City, but I have lived and worked all over the world - primarily with a focus on telecommunications in Africa. Though I may have only played a small part, I can lay claim to having contributed over my 25 years in the industry to providing phone and internet connectivity services to more than half a billion people on the continent. Today that number has swelled to nearly a billion! When I first started, there were fewer telephones in the whole of Africa than in Manhattan - mobile or otherwise!
More or less retired now, I am based in Brittany (France) after having lived the previous twenty years in Holland, Congo (DRC), Spain, Egypt, Burundi, Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria and Togo.
