: About Me

I have been a freelance photojournalist for the past 20 years. My specialties include community journalism and tourism. I have edited in-house journals for companies in Swaziland, South Africa and Zambia and have become firmly involved with the communities in each of these countries. I am also passionate about health, and as a baby boomer, am keen to try out anything that will help to keep me and my family healthy for ever! I have a fairly good knowledge of herbs and what they can do to help us live longer, better lives.

I'm a wife and mother (of adult children) and love sport, particularly swimming, golf and tennis. I also love adventure sport and have just done a short scuba diving course. At present I am living "on the edge of the Inca Trail" in North Western Peru with my husband who is working here under contract for a few years. How very different it is from Africa! Wonderful people, and fantastic opportunity to write about the adventures we are having here!

I firmly believe that we are on this planet to make a difference, and we should enjoy every second that we're alive - or learn from the seconds that are difficult to handle!

Thinking eco-friendly has become a popular redecorating concept and the reason for this is that most people, no matter what their station in life, have seen the need to help conserve the environment. Research has been done to classify renewable materials including natural fibers, toxin free finishes and low-emission products, and by choosing these materials wisely when redecorating a room in the house, you'll be creating a healthy, eco-...
