About

Story-teller, teacher, caretaker, guide and all-round travel genie

  • I was born in London, raised in South Florida, and have spent half my life on each side of the pond
  • Taking care of people, both on and off the road, is something I consider one of my life’s callings
  • I believe in mindful movement in all aspects of life – how we move through the world, and how we tell its stories, should be done with care
  • I also teach mindful movement and yoga as a wellness practice
  • Calm is my super power
