| Introduction | Single, childfree British woman with a passion for travel. After twenty years working in the City of London on fraud investigation for a major accounting firm I went to work for a development NGO in West Africa, finally retiring in 2022. I care passionately about the environment and may still get to do something in the conservation field one day. Personality? Shy in big groups though talkative and confident with small numbers of people; enjoy doing things with others, but would rather do my own thing alone than go along with a crowd doing something that doesn't interest me; in some ways a bit of a non-conformist but ultimately not a rule-breaker (happy to travel alone to strange and dangerous places but get jittery if someone breaks the speed limit); politically both red and green. |
| Interests | birds, conservation, West African music and traditional art, travel, watching Man Utd, I also (sadly?) collect stamps with pictures of birds on, and kid myself that I may learn to speak Arabic one day |
| Favorite movies | breaking glass, full metal jacket, je chanterai pour toi, la haine, apocalypse now, the gods must be crazy |
| Favorite music | ali farka toure, early stranglers, early siouxsie and the banshees, early theatre of hate, portishead, the prodigy, afel bocoum, hamza el din, boubacar traore, burna boy |
