Ruth and her family are from Antwerp, Belgium, a country with blended language and culture. A self motivated achiever, Ruth loved learning from an early age, especially languages. She speaks Dutch, French, German, English, Italian, and Mandarin. Wow.

After graduating university, working for a major international company and having three children, Ruth branched out on her own as an entrepreneur consulting to a major diamond manufacturer. Life was beautiful...until her husband brought the news that they had an opportunity to move to Shanghai, China.

Ruth discusses all the details of experiencing the wonder of this distant land, and how she showed up with courage to meet the coming challenges.
