Miriam has spent time in Southeast Asia, Central and South America and Western Europe. She spent three months in Guatemala doing Spanish language immersion and has a special place in her heart for Yucatan.

As an adult, she moved to Portland where she briefly taught high school before becoming a jewelry designer and manufacturer. Several years later, she moved to Yucatan, Mexico, where she and her Mayan husband started a water purification plant. They eventually turned it into a bed and breakfast boutique hotel, the Flycatcher Inn, which they operate with two of their nieces.
Kristine invents new business opportunities for her and her family, and educates her girls to see these opportunities where someone else might not. She believes in women and wants them to be strong. Her son and husband get along fine because they are strong men, and they accept strong women like her and her girls.
