Born in Dulwich, London, although my family hail from Christchurch, Dorset. I began my traveling days in Nigeria, at the age of 2 1/2 and have since travelled to over * 42 countries * staying various lengths of time from a lunch to 5 years. I have written up an account of my travel escapades around India & I have published a book on Incidences an Co-incidences whilst traveling alone both in the UK and overseas. For the Swimfun Experience: I qualified as a professional swim teacher in 1986 and have written The Swimfun trilogy (Amazon) adults to use as a fun guide so they can enjoy spending time in the water with their children aged from 5 weeks to 9 years. The talks are delivered with lots of enthusiasm mainly aimed at adults, and for schools year 5 upwards with time for questions. Hopefully, they are there to inspire everyone to follow their dreams - whatever they may be. I am currently based in Dorchester, Dorset.
