About the Author

---

Sandra Bornstein, an international educator and writer, has taught K-12 students in the United States and abroad as well as college level courses at the University of Colorado and Front Range Community College. Sandra holds two master’s degrees- one in Education from the University of Colorado and another in Jewish Studies from Spertus College. While pursuing a master’s degree in Jewish Studies, Sandra Bornstein wrote Rose Haas Alschuler: A Chicago Woman’s Life of Service 1887-1979 and five biographical essays on American Jewish women. The essays were published in encyclopedias and later added to the Jewish Women’s Archives website.

In 2010, her husband’s international job created a unique opportunity to live abroad. In India, she fulfilled three passions – a desire to travel, a zeal for writing, and a love of teaching.  Her first blog, Sandy’s Travel Blog, was born. Sandra’s Indian adventure became the backdrop for her book, May This Be the Best Year of Your Life: A Memoir.

Sandra’s memoir was a finalist in the Travel/Travel Guide category of the 2013 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Sandra currently lives in Colorado with her husband and their cat, Chloe. She hopes you will follow her new blog. You can contact Sandra at info@sandrabornstein.com. She would love to hear from you.
