About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel on my minimum budget and explore this beautiful planet with all it's amazing fauna,flora and folk.Meet and greet different cultures,try to embrace into my tiny world.Learn from and share my limited experiences.

ABOUT ME

Travel has been to Malaysia,Thailand,Portugual,Netherlands,Belgium and living in Spain.I love life,people,take in the sights,sounds,smells when I visit a new place.I am humble,loyal,try to be fun,kind,honest,sometimes a little shy,get embarrassed easily,go with the flow,uncomplicated,down to earth,can be pretty direct,without trying to embarrass you,sometimes naughty,then think where did that come from.Like domestic animals.Am not very domestic,eat out a lot,can cook the odd thing should the need arise.Can get very upset,at restaurants if my requests are not fulfilled.

PHILOSOPHY

If you get a chance in life,grab it with both hands,the opportunity may not pass by again.Think before you speak,especially hurtful words can never be taken back.Say what you mean and mean what you say.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen monitor lizards wrestling in Salang Malaysia.Travelled by plane,train,boat,bus,mini bus and motor bike in Malaysia and Thailand over a 3 mth stay.Took in the sights,sounds,flavours and smells,all not always pleasant.What a beautiful experience,that is why I have the travel bug.As a 4/5/6 yr old went to see my first live concert with Percy Sledge and Stella Star.I went up to the front and saw he had a gap in between his two front teeth like myself.I was thrilled.One of the best things that happened in my life was meeting my late husband,I learnt a whole new life and new cultures and experiences,learnt to be me,not other peoples expectation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will share my world,hope to learn from yours,maybe later,we can teach others passing through our lives.I am not a very good Teacher,I am worse at Learning,depending on the situation.Sharing I have no problem with....
