My name is Joanna, known to all friends and family as Jo :
I've lived most of my life in a small town in Cheshire but have also been lucky enough to travel with one of my parents jobs. I've lived in Columbia and Brazil as a child (2-3 yrs) and Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies in my early teens (11-13). Trinidad was absolutely amazing, such a laid back lifestyal and very friendly people. I went to a primary school then a secondary convent school. Living there allowed me to experience making friends from different cultures, eating different types of food and a completely different lifestyal to that in England.I would not hesitate to go back if the opportunity arose! Aside from living in these places, I have been on holidays to Spain, Greece, Dublin, Amsterdam, Japan,Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Majorca and France. My education has been very varied! Been through life very indecisive! Hence doing different courses and gaining a variety of qualifications. Can never have enough though! Over 6 years at college....3 years Childcare, IT, Business Administration, Health and Community Care and gained qualifications from all including a well recognised one in Childcare. I've worked mainly in the retail trade over the space of 8 years. Until such time as an opportunity to travel more comes along.....which as of August 07 it has presented itself in the form of a retail job on a naval base, I am there with a view to transferring to another one abroad further down the line. In my spare time...I love swimming! I've done a number of swimathons (2,500 metres/5000 metres - 100/200 lengths)to raise money for charities such as Cancer Research,Macmillan nurses and Children's homes. (£3000+ in total).* Myspace Graphics

Myspace LayoutsI have a great set of friends which now I'm living away from home, I miss very much! hope you all know who you are! I value you a great deal.To people I have only just met, I can be quiet round you. In some people's opinions I may come across as rude or withdrawn. I am just very shy. Please do not make assumptions until you've made the effort to get to know me and vice versa because once I've got to know you properly I'm an extremely friendly and genuine person. I would very much like to make more friends via this site. Take care all and hope to speak to you very soon xxx
