I am 48 years old, married, mother of two, and work in the field of learning & organisation development. Reading Poetry is my 'happy place', I enjoy dipping into and debating on philosophy, am interested in learning about different cultures and love finding the common thread of humanness on which different social mores are strung. Am a dreamer & idealist with one foot in pragmatism . I am drawn to hiking, camping and simply working with my hands gardening, but have not had much opportunity for those. Japan, Finland, UK, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore are some countries I've visted.
