Get to know me

I was born and raised in a small mining town in South Wales during the 80s, a period marked by mining strikes and closures. Life in post-industrial Wales during this time was often difficult, but despite coming from a broken home, my early years were mostly good. In 1988, I had the opportunity to go on a family holiday to Ibiza with my mother, sister, and grandparents. That holiday had a profound impact on the trajectory of my childhood and early adulthood. It ignited a desire within me to live abroad, basking in the warmth of the sun.
