Author: Daniel Flynn

Married to a Southerner, Dan was born and grew up in San Francisco, California and is a citizen of the U.S. Thanks to his Like the Dew author wife Kate McNally’s research skills, he successfully gathered the necessary documents to successfully claim his citizenship in the Republic of Ireland through his Irish ancestry. Following a career in corporate Human Resources with a variety of organizations in North America, he took early retirement, earned a Cambridge Certificate in English language teaching to adults (CELTA), and moved with Kate to Verviers, in eastern Belgium (near the Ardennes Forest where tens of thousands of American young men lost their lives in the famous ‘Battle of the Bulge’ to successfully bring an end to World War II in Europe) to teach English to adults who speak other languages such as French, German and Dutch – the three official languages of Belgium. An article by Dan on how to move abroad can still be found on the website of the former magazine Transitions Abroad at http://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0507/moving_abroad.shtml Today, he does volunteer English language training and French to English translations for Médecins sans frontières (MSF – Doctors without Borders) in Brussels and leads English language conversation groups in Verviers.
