Ullala’s Profile

I was born in Angola, Africa, in 1955 and spent my first 6 years on a coffee and tobacco plantation in the middle of the African nowhere. I was raised in Germany by German parents, was a high school exchange student in Iowa, and received an MA in American Literature at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

I lived in Berlin, West Germany, for 10 years before The Wall came down, moved to the island of Maui in Hawaii when Berlin was not an island anymore, spent 12 years in the Bay area, and am currently living in Ashland, Oregon.
