About – Anita Hummel
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University and a great fan of everything concerning BYU. I am also on the BYU Management Society Global board in the Asia Pacific region. One of the things I love about the BYU Management Society is that it allows me to meet so many amazing people worldwide.
I live in Hanoi, Vietnam, and run a company called Mondoro. You can find out more about Mondoro by clicking here. I also write some other blogs called A Bus On A Dusty Road, Anita Louise Art, The Hummel Family, Real Estate Crunch, Reluctant Low Carb Life, and Nibley’s Commentary
I love to bike, swim, and do yoga. I have fur babies – a cat named Coconut and a dog named Pelle.
