Among Worlds Author: Andy Fletcher

Andy Fletcher graduated from the American International School of Zurich (now the ZIS) in 1971 and attended universities in Texas, Japan, and California. He taught math and German in West Hollywood, math and history at the AISZ in Zurich and Robert Louis Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, and taught and coached part time at the International School of Geneva and College du Leman. He's living in his 42nd home, having lived in four countries in 26 cities or villages, had eighteen jobs and twenty-six cars, has skied in seventy-three ski resorts in five states and six countries, visited over 60 countries, and has friends from 123 countries. His wife is a TCK from the Lycee Francais de Los Angeles, and his children were TCKs in Geneva, having attended Swiss schools in French for their first five years of education. He's published close to 200 articles and radio commentaries along with portions of a number of books and a monthly humor column for five years, and has written several entire books that nobody really wanted to publish, so he published them himself. He is now the President and Executive Director of Life, the Universe and Everything, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to working with international schools and communities, offering seminars on faith and physics, and on Third Culture Kids, transition, reentry, cross-cultural assimilation, grief, depression, and other topics related to a transient expatriate lifestyle. He speaks German, Swiss German, French, Japanese, and Spanish, ranging in skill from bad to very bad.
