I am 60 years old (almost) and just about to retire. I have lived in ten countries, and worked as a teacher, then in computers, then as an EU diplomat and finally with the various countries aspiring to join the EU (or having joined in the case of ten of them in 2004). I am a white European male (although not quite a DWERM yet) and my wife is a black African.

Welcome aboard, aodagain!!

You seem to have a background that is not well represented on AD: a European diplomat. I'm hoping you can add some unique incite into our debates, especially as it relates to the EU.

I agree that your remarkable background can offer us a great deal of insight. Glad to have you here!
