About
My Life, My Interests and My Hobbies
My current pleasures in life are my travels and my family. I have always enjoyed travel - learning about foreign lands and different cultures and exploring wildlife. Especially, I enjoy the adventure of exploring lands not yet on the tourist trail. I have a goal of 100 countries before I die, but in reality I hope it will be many more! I record much of my travel on novatravels.net. My most precious memories are of 24 hour sunlight at the pristine North Pole, penguins in Antarctica, traditional Bhutan, the devastation of trees in Easter Island, lemurs and politically torn Madagascar, emerging Myanmar (Burma), paradise at Tsarabanjina Island, Bora Bora and SW Mauritius, wildlife in Tanzania, and the happy, subsistence living people in various parts of the world, such as the south seas islands, Papua New Guinea and several African countries. I devote much time to Rotary, which is a very worthwhile organisation and it gives me a great sense of worth that I can give something back to the community and help those in need both locally and internationally, whether that be with donations or giving my time. My working life has always been challenging with long work hours. I started my first business at the age of 19 in the print and advertising industry then at the age of 33. I moved into the computer industry forming a software company and a computer retail shop that also managed company network installations. In 1995 I founded one of the early Internet Service Providers – the fourth in the UK and in early 1997 I co-founded a company that created one of the earliest web-based web authoring systems that enabled people to create their own professional websites without needing any design, authoring or even computing skills. Having sold all my IT businesses by 2013, I now work part-time for a graphics and photo editing software company. As a single parent, I raised 2 wonderful children and now have a young grand-daughter and grand-son whom I see regularly.
My Mottos throughout life:
I have received many accolades throuighout my career and my main motto has always been – ‘where there’s a will there’s a way’. My work life is to ‘seize the opportunities, persevere, keep focused and motivated’. For travel - ‘The World is a book and those who do not travel read only one page’.
