Interests

In my spare time I like to over indulge in watching crime programmes on Oxygen, Investigation Discovery and Crime Network. I am a massive foodie so I do enjoy cooking up a storm for my loved ones and attending food festivals. Music is my second love so I am constantly listening to different types of genre as I appreciate them all.  When I do get a chance, I frequently visit my mothers home town, Guyana and spend time with family. This allows me to experience life from a different perspective and country, whilst enjoying the fresh fruit, vegetables and sun!
