Lydia SchroderLydia Schröder grew up in Stellenbosch, South Africa. An architect by profession, she lived and practised in Namibia for eighteen years. With her doctor husband, Anthon, she travelled extensively throughout Namibia, both for work and leisure. In 2016 when their youngest child left the house, they closed their practices, put their earthly belongings in storage and set themselves adrift. For the next couple of years they lived out of their suitcases, spending at least three months every year driving through the entire Namibia while Anthon practised rural medicine along the way. Their wanderings took them from South Africa to Germany, New Zealand, Shanghai and Singapore, while Anthon deepened his training and honed his new-found skills as an Ego State and Somatic Experiencing therapist. When they needed to take a breather, they spent time in their wooden cabin by the sea in Hermanus, South Africa, where Lydia completed 'A Yellow Butterfly on an Elephant's Foot'. In 2019 they stumbled upon a fairy tale town in Bavaria, fell in love with a fifteenth century loft apartment overlooking the market place and decided to drop anchor for a while. Read More Read Less
