Being an embarrassed teenager she burnt it one year later in the chimney and instead started to explore Europe including Britain and Ireland on a vintage motorcycle. She then extended her journeys to Africa, crossing the Sahara Desert several times to West Africa, always seeking danger and adventures. Her work as a Free Lance Editor in the Film Industry gave her the time for her travels. After the birth of her children she crossed the whole continent of Africa with them in an old Land Rover, the journey taking 9 months and 2 days. She then progressed to discover the Caribbean, including parts of Middle America and the United States, always with the children in tow. She knows all the countries and places she is writing about very well and is visiting Jamaica on a regular basis. Today she lives with her grown-up children in London, where she started studying Computing and Publishing. In 2002 she got a National Award for Computer Graphics and Creative Writing.view less
