Welcome to Our Caribbean home we are happy to share with you. Located in Kingston Ontario Canada. This is a 420/tobacco friendly place. We ask that you smoke outside due to the respect of others.Please note we only speak and read English.
I am a former athlete for Ontario/ Canada in powerlifting, 100 m sprints and shot put due to injuries I am now retired.
Worked in daycare for many years. PSW currently working with dementia clients in community and volunteering at day program.
I am a very friendly,outgoing, fun ,low maintenance, independent gal. I have no problems starting up a conversation with strangers even though I get looked at funny. I am very open about my opinions yet I have respect for others and what they think. Have great sense of humor yet sarcastic at times, I try to make people smile and stay positive.
love watching Ufc,boxing,Reggaeton music going to Caribbean and meeting up with other csers for the day.
We welcome you to our home.
Cheers Petrina
