Carol J. Yee, a life-long traveler, treks miles out of her way to eat at a recommended restaurant or visit an obscure cultural site. She travels widely for both work and pleasure thanks to her long career in international development. When at home, she eagerly seeks out ethnic restaurants, museum exhibitions, and foreign films and television shows.

Her passion for meeting people around the globe and encouraging others who may be hesitant to new adventures through travel inspired her to write, Welcome Back to Abuja Once Again: How I Became a Citizen of the World, the Foreword Indies 2021 GOLD Winner for Travel. Through the stories in her book, she demonstrates how travel reveals our common humanity and enriches our lives.
