Stefan BorgesTo say that Stefan Borges is a product of the world is not an overstatement. Borges was born in Medellín, Colombia, on August 2, 1955, after his parents had fled East Germany. In 1959 his family immigrated to the United States after his father, Alexader, joined a civil engineering company in Chicago. A decade later, that firm brought Borges and his family overseas to Pakistan on assignment, a period of five adventurous years that this book helps to chronicle and during which time he and his family traveled around the world. In 1973, after graduating from Pakistan's Lahore American School, young Borges returned to the U.S. to study at Northern Illinois University. During college and throughout his adult life, Borges would continue to travel-backpacking as a student through Europe; visiting his parents during their next assignment in Buenos Aires, Argentina; making overseas trips in his career as a corporate sales executive. Now, at age sixty-five, Borges has visited well over thirty countries so far, and along with his wife he continues to roam the world. Read More Read Less
