The most adventurous thing you've ever done.
Jumped out of a plan over Lake Taupo in New Zealand.

My guilty pleasure TV show that I secretly love.
Brigerton, I binged watched them all. Second series was my fave.
The biggest lesson I've learned from a personal failure.
I have failed alot, but you have to learn from your mistakes and move on. If something doesn’t work don’t be disheartened you tried it and get on to the next thing.
My favorite childhood memory that still brings a smile to my face.
Cooking for my family, the first thing I ever made was called porcipine stew (that involved no porcipines but meatballs studded with rice and cooked in heinz vegetable soup) I was well proud of it!

I love to sit down to read a good book, food magazine or write in my journal.
What is your current passion project?
Get on the financially free ladder! Make more passive income through my work. Plus have awesome Substack page with all you lovely followers :)
What would my ideal day be?
Starting off the day with a coffee, writing some goals, then head off to a food festival or market for lunch, do a little work (it’s not really work because I enjoy it so much), see friends and family and back to cook a fantastic dinner for loved ones. Head to bed early with a good book. Simple I know!
Next holiday destinations?
Well it’s been a while! So would like to do a family trip for some Winter Sun this year, then in the future three or more holidays a year travelling! Marrakech, Mauritius, Far East, New York…
Thanks for sticking here! Hopefully you’ve got to know a bit more about me and well I have discovered little snippets and been a bit more mindful about it all. It’s funny you get caught up in life sometimes you forget to take a step back and rediscover yourself. See what your priorities are and what’s changed.
