CURRENT MISSION

The world is your oyster

ABOUT ME

I make a mean Tequila Sunrise, wear big earrings whatever the occasion and dream of dominating the bakery world with my own cake business.
I love to laugh and be around other people, and am always looking for new adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Always stay true to yourself, keep an open mind. That sorta thing.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Ok, I know it says put 'one amazing thing' down, but it's impossible to choose from:
Sailing through the Three Gorges, hiking through the Sierra Maestra to the Castro brothers' camp, interrailing round Eastern Europe last summer. So many beautiful places to go and things to see.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I suppose I'd be good at teaching people about food-related things. It forms a huge part of my life as I'm always dreaming up new food combos and ideas. Language and some history bits and pieces too.
Sharing stories, learning from others' experiences.
