Around the World and Back Again

By Rena Malai ( r.malai@acc.com), ACC

One of the best views of London is from a plane as it circles Heathrow International airport, preparing to land.

This is particularly
true on an early, sun-
ny summer morning
when sights like Big Ben, the Houses
of Parliament, the River Thames, and
the London Eye are all beautifully il-
luminated in the bird’s-eye view.

It’s a sight Rosamund Browne, principal international employment and labour counsel at Rockwell Collins Inc., can vouch for. She’s seen it many, many times throughout her life, from traveling around the world both professionally and personally.

“Make sure you get a window seat, if
you’re on a flight to Heathrow that lands
early morning,” Browne says. “Apart
from maybe being in a helicopter, that
view before landing is spectacular.”
Browne credits much of her wan-
derlust and love for legal work to her
adventurous parents. British by birth,
she spent much of her childhood in
Fiji where she remembers mixing
with people from different cultures
and backgrounds. By the time she
was five years old, her parents had
taken her around the world three
and a half times including traveling
through India, Nepal, and Southeast
Asia. She also spent a lot of time
outdoors playing on remote island
beaches in the South Pacific, learning
to swim and sail.

“My parents were mad keen sailors,” Browne says. “Instead of playing in a park in the UK as a kid, I would be in a boat, on the way to a weekend of sailing. The travel and experiences my parents exposed me to really shaped my life as an adult.”
