George Boettiger

The author has played bridge for well over 20 years now. He became a bridge director in 2003 and an accredited bridge teacher in 2009. He lives in Avoca Beach on the Central Coast of NSW in Australia together with his partner, Anne Moody. They both retired in January 2013, the author was an accountant and Anne was a registered nurse. At that time they decided to embark on a new career as bridge instructors onboard cruise ships. It turned out to be a very successful decision. Together they have travelled all over the world with many different cruise lines. They have mixed with people from many different countries and a variety of cultures, whilst all the time doing what they love the most—playing bridge.
