Our Story

What’s your proudest moment?
Bringing 3 amazing boys into this world. They fill my heart with joy!

Do you have a personal motto?
Be kind, have fun always.

Do you have any pets?
We have a funny, clever spoodle IGGI – he is hysterical and I love him!

What’s your favorite season?
Love summer and autumn – long days, outdoor activities, BBQ’s and salads, G&T’s

What is your favorite travel destination?

I keep getting drawn back to Italy – I’ve never really considered a favourite however it seems that we always end up in one of the provinces. We are still to explore Calabria which I can’t wait for and I am keen to revisit Toarmina. If you have watched White Lotus that whole town has that vibe. It’s actually spectacular.

Do you have a hidden talent?

Not sure that it’s hidden but I do love to cook rustic euro food. I am good at making up my own dishes as I think I have a knack for knowing what flavours will work with each other. I can pretty instantly make whatever is in the cupboard or fridge work. It’s how I think many countryside Europeans cook.

What’s next on your bucket list?
I have often wondered about owning a holiday house in Europe and really experiencing the culture and community. The difficulty is deciding where and whether having one place will limit other destination opportunities. I would like to rent a house in both the USA and Europe for a few months over the summer period. Living in a place and getting to know the locals is definitely appealing and I want that carefree feeling that allows you to focus on the people, food and way of life.

What is your proudest moment?

As my 3 boys are now entering adulthood I reflect on all the moments we have travelled together and given them a taste of what’s possible, opening their minds to other ways of life and that travel is such a connector. What I am proud of and what I think we as parents have done well is listening to the kids talk about their travel experiences, remembering what impressed them and that they value building our family bond.

What’s you favorite travel destination?

Travelling around Turkey prior to kids including hot air ballooning over Cappadocia and hiking between Fethiye and Oludeniz. Great food and beautiful scenery.

NEW YORK.  We travelled to the US pre COVID and New York was a favourite of the whole family.

We stayed in Manhattan Upper West side. This made a huge difference to our stay as we were able to live more like a local (while doing all the tourist things of course).  A visit to the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station for fresh oysters and champagne is a must.

The youngest member of our family is Miss Molly, a beautiful tan King Charles, she is most definitely my favourite child !!

Whats you favourite travel destination?
New York City- There is just something about that city that pulls me. I would love to just take about 3 months and live there as a resident, just soaking up everything the city has to offer. I have been there 3 times and still haven’t scratched the surface.

What’s your all-time favorite book or movie, and what do you love about it?
Movie- America’s Sweethearts- This is the one movie that my husband and I can watch together over and over and not get sick of. We don’t normally agree on movie choices so this is a special movie for us both.

Not really daring but I would love to go on an Expedition to Antarctica, but it has to be in Luxury, sailing on a five-star small ship.

What’s your favorite hobby, and how did you get started with it?
I am a Kitten Foster Mum so that takes up allot of my time. I volunteer with a Kitten Rescue and I take in kittens or Mums with their Kittens. I look after them until they are old enough to go to their forever home. I help the rescue organisation I volunteer with to find families for these beautiful kittens. I currently have a Mum and her litter of 6 x 3 week old kittens I am looking after. It is very rewarding.

I have sailed with Royal Caribbean cruises for over 100 nights so far. Hopefully to get to Diamond Plus status very soon. I feel like Royal Caribbean ships are my second home.
