About Me

What do you like most about where you currently live?
Cars and Goodwood, people, countryside, art and salsa events that I organise :P

What do you enjoy most about your current job?
Mission, responsibility, meeting loads of interesting people

Where in the world are your favourite places?
Uganda, Zambia, and Colombia worked in both of those places

Where in the world would you love to visit?
Peru and Cuba - to see all the old cars wroom wroom
Venezuela - to dance salsa all day every day that I am lucky enough to be there

What makes you grumpy sometimes?
As I have been and worked in places where people are super poor, so poor beyond belief yet still are happy and full of life. I really really really don't like people who complain about little things like bad service lack of parking or bin collections lol

People, tickles, children, puppies

Latin, Blues, Jazz, Some Pop, R&B

What has been the highlight of your life so far?
Meeting my late partner - he was a sweetheart and getting almost 'broke' together with him while building a project in Zambia, that now looks after 200 orphan children all day every day for the last 5 yrs :)
6-month employment contract with Tesla - whoop whoop, driven some super cool cars during that time :P
Securing my current role in an amazing charity helping Stroke Survivors.

What are you looking forward to in the future?
Career-wise: not overly ambitious, anymore, COVID made me think over my priorities I think now I want a job that is not too draining but also allows me to give back.

On a personal level: I am happy who I am and have everything I need mainly just do miss being bit more adventours at times :)
