I live with my husband and children in the heart of England in beautiful Worcestershire. I have spent over 23 years as a teacher in education. It has been an awesome career and has taught me lots of things – mainly I LOVE PEOPLE  (oh and talking!)

Both of my kids are very sporty so I spend a lot of my time outdoors – however I must admit I do look forward to the post match analysis in the pub with a pint and a bag of crisps.

I really love this amazing planet and love globetrotting. I have been fortunate to have made memories and adventures in 31 different countries. I’ve hiked across glaciers in NZ, Iceland and The Arctic Circle. I have walked along the Great Wall of China. I have even been stung by a stingray whilst island hopping in Thailand and bitten by a scorpion in Death Valley. But my travelling highlights are always meeting the local people and listening to their stories, learning more about this wonderful world.
