…a professional nomad who has finally decided to put down some roots in the beautiful Italian countryside. 

I grew up in a rural landlocked part of the UK but left the country at 18 and have been working on super yachts ever since. My work and travels have taken me all over the world and I’ve been lucky enough to call Spain, Kenya & South Africa ‘home’ at various points in my life.  

Despite having zero Italian language skills, no building know-how, and gardening experience limited to the tropics of Africa; my passion for travelling and wine led me to make the choice to buy a small rustic house in need of rennovation in Italy. 

Life sometimes throws us challenges and curve balls but I find that there’s always something to still be grateful for. Join me as I navigate this new chapter of my life, starting out on my own with a non EU passport and a whole lot of optimism.
