Hmmmm well I love lots of things in life from sunshine to massive thunderstorms, balsamic vinegar to noodle soup, dancing to having naps in the afternoon. I'm creative and love to travel, give a lot and enjoy my own space a lot too. I'm very expressive - rubbish poker face! - and generally like to give anything a go (within reason, I do have high standards and sound principles!).

Right now, life involves teaching at a small International School in a lovely part of Bangkok. And loads more... exploring my new home city and getting out of the concrete jungle at weekends and during my fabulous holidays! Sharing life here with friends and family back in Blighty. And new friends here. Yoga, swimming and dancing when I get the chance. Reading books I've always meant to read. All in all having the time of my life!

Wandering and exploring, cooking, working stuff out, being daft, listening and talking.

Hmmmm my smile and openness.

This is difficult. I have way too much to say on all of these.

Books: A Suitable Boy, Midnight's Children, George's Marvellous Medicine, East of Eden, the (original) Mr Men books, The World According to Garp, 100 Years of Solitude, Dr Seuss.

Films: The Lost Boys, Bugsy Malone, The Godfather I and II, Terminator, Some Like It Hot, Tsotsi, Pulp Fiction, The Sound of Music, Goodfellas, any crap with Owen Wilson or Marky Mark!

Music: too much to choose from...Mozart, Happy Mondays, Thievery Corporation, Afro Cuban, Lee Scratch Perry, Nina Simone, Lemonjelly, Stevie Wonder, ABBA, Maria Callas singing anything, Ella Fitzgerald, Motown, proper old Rhythm and Blues (Robert Johnson et al), Bill Withers, Macy Gray, The Stone Roses.

Food: som tam and num tok (current addictions), my Mum's lasagne and tiramisu, barbequed chicken, a fine salad with feta and avocado and nuts and tomatoes and my brilliant dressing, fresh bread, pizza, medium rare fillet steak, just about all Thai food apart from weird stuff like durian.

Friends and family

Places I've been to and places I'll go to, the meaning of life (?!), friends and family, how to kill that mozzie that's keeping me awake.

Out with friends, curled up with a glass of wine listening to music or watching a film, dancing around while cooking.

You like the sound and look of me. You're someone who enjoys life and makes the most of living in Thailand by exploring and trying new things. Oh and if you're straightforward and honest.
