My family heritage and coming back to live in my own culture after living almost 23 years in the USA.
And where are you now?
I live in Los Boliches, Fuengirola – I love it here as I am a fan of walking and it’s so close to everything.
What was the biggest challenge for your move?
Leaving behind my youngest daughter and losing my little Yorkie (Teddy) due to sickness after having him for 14 years.
Do you have any advice for Women thinking about making the move?
Go for it! Changes should be for your own benefit and to make you stronger.
How do you spend your days?
I love reading, walking, assembling miniature settings and handicrafts.
What is something spectacular you would like to achieve in just one day?
Have my three children together in one place.
Something you are grateful for?
My children and moving to Spain.
Who would be at your special dinner party?
Gandhi, John F. Kennedy, Einstein, Monet, Bach, George Clooney ;), Celine Dion and some others. Why? Because it would be interesting to talk with all of them on their area of expertise and learn more.
What’s your secret weapon?
Loyalty.
Do you have a favourite mantra?
Step by step and don’t rush
One thing you had to bring to Spain and could never give away?
