Support for Indie Authors discussion

Mods: I wasn't sure where to place this, so....

I decided to take new approach with my bio. I feel I am competing with a million other authors and most of them are saying about the same thing in their bio. I decided that my strength is my difference, the unusual life I have led, so I highlighted what makes me unique instead of the same as a million other authors, and this is now my bio:

You haven't lived until you've been escorted onto an international flight in handcuffs.

Actually, the immigration officer in Heathrow did me a favor, but it was amusing to see parents snatch children from the aisle when I was taken aboard.

For more than ten years I traveled Europe, Africa, Mexico with a back pack. I sat on the Great pyramid of Giza and watched the sun set, ran a bar on a kibbutz in Israel, taught English to German businessmen in Cologne while living in a tent, and daily spear fished for meat while living in an abandoned house on the Caribbean.

All this experience, I believe, brings a richness to my writing. With the same gusto I brought to travel I approached the craft of writing fiction, and have studied it for many years.

My travel articles have been published in several countries. My novels are available in paperback and on Kindle.

Any feedback?

I would rephrase the third paragraph line to: For more than ten years I have traveled through Europe, Africa and Mexico with only a back pack. And use I've for the following sentence.

I'd try to stress further how cool your life has been. I'm interested after reading your bio. Is this for goodreads, amazon, personal website, or just in general?

Thanks Sarah. I hope it didn't seem as though I were bragging.
