ABOUT ME

Adventure is the spice of life! I love meeting interesting people, learning about cultures from locals, experiencing new places and not merely visiting them. I love stories and storytellers. In my life before motherhood I was a journalist and a life coach. I am now an Amazon entrepreneur. I am not a party animal, but I like exciting things, places to visit and some peace and quiet sometimes when traveling.
