In Her Own Words
About her
I have lived in quite a few different countries and speak French and Spanish. I have liberal views politically and lean to the left. I supported Remain in the Referendum and now have an Irish passport.
I am compassionate and enthusiastic and energetic. I love my daughters and granddaughters and see them frequently. I do yoga every morning and love sea swimming in the Med (cold water is a bit of a deterrent!). I love any activities around boats and the sea - i windsurfed and sailed when I lived in the Balearics.
I travelled a lot for my work and now am enjoying travelling again for myself. I often spend time in Formentera and have started going overland by train and boat - better for the environment but also fun stopping off in Paris and Barcelona. I was also in Zanzibar earlier in the year and am going to India in a few months. Being with different people from different cultures is one of my favourite things along with spending time with my family and my friends, going to cinema, concerts (gigs), theatre, exhibitions etc
I do some volunteer work which enriches my soul!
I split my time between Hackney and South Wales.
About her ideal match
I would like to meet a man of a similar age with similar views on life, politics etc. Someone who would like to travel too and who is not afraid of using local transport in more remote places, staying in hotels or other which don’t necessarily cater to western tourists. Someone who is outgoing and easygoing, with self confidence and who doesn’t take himself too seriously. On the other hand he can enjoy the finer things of life - good food and wine (although I don’t drink I am very happy to be with someone who does).
A deal breaker would be someone with different views on Europe, equalities and climate change.
