What else ...
I have travelled quite a lot during my time, I have done lots of adventures, jumped out of a plane and swam with sharks and a whole host of stuff inbetween. I am a keen horsewoman and cyclist and like long walks in beautiful countryside. skiing and snow activities also.
I have recently retired from work and I have decided to travel now for as long as I can, I want to expand my horizons and can pretty much muck in with anything you require.
thanks for your consideration
