Do you want to have a word with yourself?

About Me

First and foremost, thanks a million Mullet & Juanski for sorting myspace for me! (You guys know what a technophobe I am!) Right now I..m living the dream in a funky little place called Melilla. It..s next to Morocco in North Africa but is owned by Spain, so it means that the city is buzzing with both cultures. I did have plans to jet off around the world but I..m loving the vibe here too much to leave yet! I..m teaching English to kids and filling the rest of my time with salsa classes, beach parties and african trance festivals...It..s a hard job but someone..s gotta do it! Teehee! Anyhoo, missing everyone loads...I..ve got photos of you all plastered on my bedroom walls here! I..m moving back to England in Sept 2008 so please keep in touch until then! Huge love to y..all !Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasy Now! x x x x x X

My Interests

Looking for pots of gold at the end of rainbows, making cocktails & dreams, learning to say thank you in lots of languages, travelling to far and foreign lands, having everyone over to mine for food and a good old sing song, dancing salsa!!!
