About the Author

Becky Stephen was born in the US as an "airforce brat," growing up in several states, as well as in England. Long fascinated by Indian culture and philosophy, she moved to India in 1988 to study Hindi at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. There she met her South Indian husband and ended up living in Varanasi for five years. Becky has a Masters in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California, and has developed and led cross-cultural and other training programs and events in the US, India, Eurasia, Europe, and the Arabian Peninsula. After working for three years in Dubai as a management consultant and cross-cultural trainer, she moved with her husband and son to Atlanta, Georgia, where she trains and supervises Americans on long- term international assignments.
