I moved to Albuquerque, NM, a year ago, but had been teaching/doing bird photography in Thailand since 2010.
I was born in Haiti, of American missionary parents, commuted back and forth to the US, then moved to KY for college in 1970. My kids were born in Durango, CO, but I only lived there in the early 1980s.
I taught in Mexico one semester in 2011, lived briefly in a number of states, but mostly I lived in KY, taught English literature, ESL, and tutored. My wooded family farm was a wildlife/bird haven, and I would ride my horses to access remote birding spots in surrounding hills.
I only could use binoculars for birding until digital cameras were invented, then I began buying increasingly expensive equipment, up to a Canon EOS 7d Mark ll, and numerous Canon lenses, which I had to leave behind in Thailand when I left in haste due to cancer.
I bought a used Canon Rebel t-6 and Tamron 18-400mm lens and began taking photos as I regained strength.
