Leaving my comfort zone in Australia at 16 years old to relocate to the wilds of Papua New Guinea gave me the inspiration to continue traveling and experience life to the fullest.

That was 37 years ago, and while that number seems a tad up there in the age bracket, I have to say it has been a great learning curve all round and I'm still taking the bull by the horns and shaking it for all it is worth.

Over the years while my work ethic has always remained the same regardless of where I am based, my career path has been widely varied.

Wife, parent,production assistant in the Australian Music Industry for international artists, lived and worked in Bali, Indonesia for 7 years designing, supplying, manufacturing fashion accessories for Club Med Resorts,achieved Diploma in International Business with distinctions. Lived in Penang, Malaysia, where our daughter finished school, worked as delivery crew on international yachts,just completed consultant project manager stand -in on 1925 Classic Yacht re-fit in Italy.

I believe we can achieve what we we want in this life if we are willing to put in the effort and make it happen, keeping a kind heart along the way.
