Introduction: This page will give a glimpse of the many
countries in the world that my wife Patricia and I have visited as an IMF senior official and as a private consultant. The
visits to these countries have enriched us enormously, personally and professionally. We are fortunate to have seen and
learned so much from these trips in our fast moving world.
We believe that these experiences have helped us to contribute
more to the world at large in terms of better understanding of other cultures and to facilitate relations between people accross
borders in a rapidly integrated world resulting from the globalization process.

Sharing our experiences with you:
The best part of my job was not all work but some pleasure
as well. These missions abroad, not only provided my wife and I the great opportunity to see the world
greatest places, but most of all, gave us the opportunity to meet really great and interesting people in every
country we visited. We consider ourselves very lucky and blessed. In return, we would like to continue to contribute
to the world at large as best we can.
From East to West, and From North to South, there are still
so many places to explore and to appreciate. We hope you would enjoy all these interesting and beautiful places that
we had the good fortune of having been there and having appreciated them totally. Best regards from both of us.
- Patricia and Naranhkiri Tith
