Aura was born and raised in Chiang Mai, a highland northern Thailand city established in 1296. It’s home to several exquisite and ancient Buddhist temples.
Aura visited New York City in the early 70s to attend college in Boston, Massachusetts. The visit to The Statue of Liberty was special and reminded Aura of her new life and opportunity.
Today, living in the Pacific Northwest Olympic Peninsula becomes “Aura’s deepest fantasies have come to life” of her passion for the outdoors: thrilling nature trails, majestic snow-capped ridges, dazzling beauty of dusk over the deep blue ocean, and water sports: kayaking and dragon boating.
