Who?

I'm not sure I'd call myself a traveller, but I've travelled a lot.



Who am I and where do I come from? 


Good question, no simple answer. 






I'm a mongrel. Don't really feel like I'm from anywhere in particular. Born in Panama of a Spanish mother, an American (as in U.S. of A.) father, with a Canadian grandmother of Irish descent. Raised all over the world (i.e. U.S., Saudi Arabia, Mexico...), the result of a French educational system, a Spanish university and a Belgian Postgraduate program which sent me to the Antarctic to study plankton in summer coastal waters.


I'm a zany green-eyed redhead, so once upon I time I might have been burnt at the stake as a witch. Beware of gingers! Particularly those with the highly volatile mix of Celtic and Latin tempers! :p



I'm a marine biologist, a traveller, a scuba diver, a movie/TV addict, a bookworm, a singer, a teacher, a translator, a friend.

I've got my priorities straight: family, friends and health. Anything else comes second.

I'm happiest underwater, in the water or on the water. 


Unless I'm in a forest. Or on the top of a mountain. 


Or in a Gothic Cathedral. Or in a Castle. 


Or dancing. Or surrounded by the people I love.


I've got ants in my pants and am not 100% sure I'll ever be able to settle down comfortably in just one place. Have friends and family spread across the globe and I wish I could spend my life criss-crossing the globe to visit them. Am waiting for the U.N. to hand out passports for citizens of Planet Earth!
