About Me

. I was born in Cape Town and had the great fortune of having nomadic parents who took me all over the world in search of........ ? I have lived in some strange places and have met even stranger people, but have enjoyed every bizarre experience. I believe that the best education in this world is to travel and to experience as many cultures as possible - so screw the rat race and buy a Dodge Campervan!I have since been incredibly lucky and have worked in some amazing places and for some truly inspirational people including Abbey Road Studios in London, The Market Theatre in Johannesburg (the original protest theatre) and for all round good guy, producer and musician, Alan Parsons.I am now a fulltime mum to my gorgeous little girl.
