In Her Own Words
About her
I am someone who values kindness and tolerance. By nature, warmhearted, friendly, articulate, open and giving. Financially secure, very sociable, fit and adaptable with a classical education. I have also lived abroad with a fascination for different cultures and lifestyles; sailed in several waters, travelled extensively and adore the Mediterranean - France/Italy/Greece and Africa. Renovated period properties, have many interests/passions and open to exploring new ideas and projects .. you will find me enthusiastic, creative, inspiring and fun…promise.
I have an appreciation of both the simple things in life together with the finer. I feel at home in the countryside and find it awe inspiring, nourishing and humbling; a beautiful sunset.. silence after snow has fallen....the rustling of leaves on a crisp autumn day… the colours, shapes and perfume of a beautiful garden … bees.. butterflies ...the Okavango Delta and Kalahari…
There is a Pablo Neruda poem that conveys my life philosophy. Basically don’t allow yourself to get stuck in a rut .. [However comfortable that is].
See what you think:
You start dying slowly:
If you do not travel,
If you do not read
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.
You start dying slowly:
When you kill your self esteem,
when you do not let others help you.
If you become a slave to your habits,
walking every day on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
or speak to those you do not know.
You start dying slowly:
If you avoid passion
and their turbulent emotions,
those that make your eyes glisten,
your heart beat fast.
If you do not go after a dream…

About her ideal match
Looking to cultivate an easygoing friendship/relationship and would resonate with someone intellectually bright, emotionally sound, relaxed and doesn’t take themselves too seriously, I’m not searching for perfect. I’m searching for genuine and the companionship and bond built on kindness and compassion.
I have also designed and built a self contained, very comfortable guest accommodation, with every convenience, including en-suite, kitchen facilities and garage.
A European/International mindset would be a bonus.
