Profession: Resort Manager
Hospitality and Tourism

Much behind the scenes Admin stuff but very much hands on at the forefront too. Communication was key to this role and time keeping important too.

Interests: Hi ! I am sure you will learn so much about me when we get chatting - but to give you a little idea … I am from South Wales in the UK ( just think Gareth Bale the footballer, Catherine Zeta Jones , Sir Tom Jones and Sir Anthony Hopkins to get an idea !)
I moved to go to University in England and worked that way for many years so lived in Hertfordshire for 10 years total ( losing some of my Welsh accent !) then moved to Turkey in 2000.

Working in Tourism since then, so I am used to talking to people with different accents - I also Worked in India during this time too in their summer months ( not the monsoon time as that’s summer in Turkey !)

I have many life’s experiences and just love to talk - and am a good listener too.

I love to travel, read, drive (cars), am a pescatarian, and do a lot of animal charity work . Since Covid brought no tourism this year (2021) I have neutered just under 180 cats working with an animal charity in my home town of Fethiye in Turkey. Many of these cats are now in my garden!
