CURRENT MISSION waiting to start a new job and a Masters Degree in 2026. Keeping myself busy with a spot of European travel, French and Spanish study, reading books I have had for years and volunteering as an English Teacher and a befriender online to refugees.

PREVIOUS MISSIONS Teaching English in Calabria and Tour leading for various overlanding companies in South America (8 months), Iceland (2 months) and Madagascar (3 weeks).
I have also recently done some volunteering in Athens at a cat sanctuary.

ABOUT ME I love travelling and have spent the last 10 years travelling extensively and working remotely. For the last few years I have settled in Calabria. I love to learn about new countries, cultures and food and enjoy architecture and ancient history.

PHILOSOPHY I am a spontaneous person who has a lust for life and I try to live it to the full. Everyday is an adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leading a group of 24 people around South America in an overland truck. The first tour after Coronavirus and in 4 years so it was an exploratory trip with out of dates notes and no guidance. I was also the first Tour Leader to take a truck and group into French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak French to C1 level and Italian to B1 level and have started trying to learn Spanish and Arabic. I love languages and enjoy speaking with other people , learning about different cultures, and gaining knowledge about the world and travel as a whole. I have seen 125 countries so far and have extensive knowledge of the UK and Europe for anyone wanting more information.

I’m an English Teacher, a Business Woman, a tour guide, a volunteer with an NGO in Yemen and a student!
