I have extensively travelled throughout my life. I’ve been around the world 5 times and
I make it a goal each year to visit a new destination to explore and shop till I drop. I
enjoy partner dancing like salsa and Ceroc and love catching up with family and friends
for a bbq and social drinks. I love keeping abreast of what’s happening in the beauty
(hair, makeup, nails and fashion) industry and enjoy home renovation and interior
design.
