You will never find me... sitting still - I'm always busy doing something!

 

The best invention is... the internet.

 

The thing that makes me the happiest is... spending time with my family.

 

My favourite space in my house is... the dining room, where we play board games, eat and talk together as a family. The dining table is the place where all the action and discussion occurs.

The most inspirational person in my life is... my mum. She has endless energy and a love for life - even when life gets hard. She raised me as a single mum and I can't help but admire her courage and determination.

The most unforgettable place I've visited is... the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It's covered in tropical forest and there is a mist that hangs over part of the island that is simply magical. There is one place there, on top of a mountain, where it never stops raining! It's the wettest place on earth.

 

The last place I visited is... Amsterdam - for the birthday of a good friend.

 

The best gift I have received recently is... a beautiful framed flower arrangement from a friend - it was so incredibly thoughtful and appreciated.

 

The last song I listened to was... Sweet Dreams by the Eurhythmics- it's my favourite song of all time!

 

I would like to learn how to... fly a plane. That would be cool!

The book I am reading is... Scaling Up: How a few companies make it and why the rest don't by Verne Harnish

 

My most recent find... is the Victoria Lines: there are some interesting man-made caves there and it's a really good hike.

 

The website I will often browse is ... www.entrepreneur.com

 

The most beautiful building in the world is ... the ANZ Building on Collins Street in Melbourne, Australia. It's incredibly beautiful and the inside of the building is wonderful - it's all highly polished wood and leather.

The most spectacular city in the world is... New York. We spent our honeymoon there and I absolutely love it: Rockefeller Centre Martinis, amazing restaurants and a vibe that is unforgettable.

 

The things that I would never part with are... the ornaments and treasures I've collected from different countries all around the world - and my shoe collection!

 

An indulgence I would never give up is ...chocolate.

 

The thing you will always find in my fridge is ... herrings. I love them.

 

If I could get away for the day it would have to be to... Tuscany, to have wine in a beautiful location - it has such amazing scenery; I love being close to nature.

One thing I never get around to doing and wish to is... buying a warehouse apartment in New York: it has been a dream of mine ever since I watched Flashdance when I was a child.

 

If had no choice but to change my line of work I would love to be... a psychologist.

 

My most luxurious habit is... getting a facial at the Corinthia Palace.
