I sailed around the world with my husband, a master mariner, for 2 and a half years, painting, writing and pursuing my hobbies such as photography and reading.We sailed to many ports, travelled to many countries and discovered many cultures. I painted my impressions of all that I saw and exhibited my work in Mumbai.

Then we stayed in Singapore for 15 months, where my husband worked in a ship management company. I freelanced as a web designer, as well as looked after the website and edited the newsletter for the organization: Friends of the Museum.

Now we are in Cardiff, for the next three years, as my husband is doing his MPhil in Social Sciences in Cardiff University. I freelance here as well.I also do an evening course in Creative Writing at the Cardiff University.
