Kris Bordessa’s Summary
I'm the author of several books for teachers and students: Team Challenges: Group Activities to Build Cooperation, Communication and Creativity, Tools of the Ancient Greeks, Great Colonial American Projects You Can Build Yourself, and Great Medieval Projects You Can Build Yourself.
In addition to writing books, I freelance for an assortment of national and regional magazines, including Islands, FamilyFun, Hana Hou!, H2O, Parenting, Parents, Hawaii Westways, and ATA Sights. My online credits include Disney's family.com, MSN.com, and HGTV.com.
As a former resident of the Big Island of Hawaii and a current resident of Northern California, I combine my knowledge of these areas with a knack for tracking down bargains for my latest projects: Big Island On The Cheap (http://bigislandonthecheap.com), Honolulu On The Cheap (http://honoluluonthecheap.com) and Gold Country On The Cheap (http://goldcountryonthecheap.com).
Kris Bordessa’s Specialties:
Hawaii bargains, family activities, education, travel, creative problem solving, team building, project development, leadership, communication, creativity, and building things with straws and marshmallows.
