About Activity

My dear other half (OH for short) likes to move around a lot so I follow him around the world. If he gets offered a job somewhere for more money than he currently earns then he takes it so I never quite know where we will be heading next or how long we will be staying. In the meantime I take home learning courses, flying back to UK to take exams, and I try out new hobbys, experience new cultures and meet people from all walks of life. The main advantage of OHs job is that we travel a lot of business. I love travelling (although long flights are a drag) and have been to quite a few places with more coming up in the not too distant future!

Interests: reading, eating out, shopping, music, gym, socialising, sports, sunbathing

May 2009 - Nov 2009

Geneva, Switzerland

My partner is moving to Geneva Jan 16th 2010 for work and I will hopefully be joining him at some point during the year, until then I will be visiting regularly at least once a month.
Lady of Leisure... but also a student too so I guess that means I am not a lady of leisure anymore after all.
I am guessing I will like the scenery and the activities available as partner and I are both outdoorsy.
The cold! Hoping I will get used to it!

Since Nov 2009

Lichfield, Staffordshire, England

Spending time with childhood friends, studying lots, yet again deciding on what I actually want to do. Wishing I was in Geneva with the boyfriend!!
Home learning student.
Same as the before. My friends, family, the town, the coffee houses.
Right now, how cold the sodding winter is!! Brrrr!!! Still nothing to do, BUT they are on about opening a shopping complex with a movie theatre and stuff.

I lived with my partner while he was working out there.
Lady of Leisure :)
Angel and Tasha! Getting my nails done on a thursday with Angel and going to starbucks every day almost. Lunch with the girls at Le Chocolat. Date nights with my partner on a tuesday at the Burlington Lounge in the Ritz Carlton. The malls!
The very very very hot summer! Ramadan (as it was during the aforementioned hot summer)! I liked pretty much everything else.

Lichfield, Staffordshire, England

Returned to my birthplace after Wales. Made friends, tried to decide what to do with my life, worked like a dog!
Customer Service Assistant
Scenery! My family, the town center, the cathedral! Cafe Nero!!!! Close to Birmingham. Ski slope in Tamworth, quite close.
No starbucks. Not much to do in Lichfield itself, no cinema, bowling alley etc.

Jul 2006 - Dec 2006

Cwmbran, England

Moved out from home the first time. I was looking for independance and excitement!
Sales Assistant
Scenery, House of Fraser (where naturally all my wages went), my job.. I worked at QS clothing store and my boss was Wendy Davies (anyone know is she is still manager there) and she was the most fantastic boss ever!!! I loved how many gamers there are :D or maybe that was just my geeky friends.
Not a whole lot to do in Cwmbran. But close to newport and cardiff so can always get to excitement somehow!
