I have known Barbara Lewis since 1992 when we taught together at an international school in Istanbul, Turkey. In all of the years I have known her, Barbara has been an animal lover. She has adopted stray cats in Istanbul and in Beijing. She always has a kind word and a pat for other people's pets as well. Even as a child, Barbara grew up surrounded by pets. In addition to being a pet lover, Barbara loves to travel, meet new people and explore new places. We have traveled together many times over the years and I have never seen her fail to be respectful to people, their cultures and the environment. She is also an excellent guest, able to take care of herself and her surroundings, right down to refilling the ice cube trays! If you are looking for someone to care for your home and animals as if they were her own, Barbara is your woman.
