I grew up splitting my time between the country life and the big city, I am a mix of small town tradition and big city adventures. I have been living in Vancouver for years and love it.
I have a successful career in Interior Design. Like so many Vancouverites, I enjoy an active lifestyle. My favourite activities include snowboarding, surfing, jogging and outdoor cocktailing!

If I could have a super power what would it be?

Where would you wake up on your perfect day?
On the Mediterranean, Italy … Positano in a Vila high on the cliff that overlooks the sea. Crisp white linens, dark haired, dark skin, blue eyed boy (cliché Mediterranean). Dizzy/foggy head from too much wine and sexy time the night before. Patio door open, Dedon patio furniture gleaming in the Mediterranean sun, satin white shears blowing inward, hot breeze, dark strong espresso, crisp frozen grapes, followed by a muddy grey goose caesar w marinated asparagus and prawn garnish. Curly fro is in perfect order, breath is vampire crisp, sail boat awaiting our arrival in harbor ……have not worked out all the details but it’s a start to my perfect day!
If money was no object the only rule was you were not allowed to leave Vancouver. What would you do?
Harbor cruise followed by fire works on the top of the Shangri La!
