CURRENT MISSION
To travel far and wide and embrace the wonderful happy world!

ABOUT I’m an energetic solo female traveler, currently travelling around India. I have met some amazing hosts and guests during my travels. We have hiked mountains, attended shows, explored beaches and made lasting connections and future travel plans. Happy to connect with other solo travellers and locals, who share my compassion for animals and preserving our planet.

I’m vegan and dedicated to animals and have volunteered with rescue sanctuaries and cared for many animals. I am a behaviour change coach and nutritionist. I support people with anxiety, depression, stress, mental health, diet and lifestyle diseases. I enjoy hiking, Yoga, Tennis.

I created a Vegan hostel in Cuba, it’s the only one there. It has received awards of excellence and many positive reviews. Now I provide humanitarian aid to local Cubans.

Previously in London I set up and ran a family based weight management programmes, working with obese children and teenagers. It was both challenging and rewarding.

My greatest achievements include having 3 wonderful children, completing the London marathon twice, trekking along the Great wall of China, cycling from London to Paris, completing the 3 peaks mountain challenge and Trailwalker (100km) challenge in the UK. I absolutely adore travelling and had an amazing time back-packing around Thailand, Vietnam, China, Nicaragua, Hondurus, Guatamala, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Africa, Nepal, India.
