About Me

Louise
Single, childfree British woman with a passion for travel. After twenty years working in the City of London on fraud investigation for a major accounting firm I went to work for a development NGO in West Africa, finally retiring in 2022. I care passionately about the environment and may still get to do something in the conservation field one day. Personality? Shy in big groups though talkative and confident with small numbers of people; enjoy doing things with others, but would rather do my own thing alone than go along with a crowd doing something that doesn't interest me; in some ways a bit of a non-conformist but ultimately not a rule-breaker (happy to travel alone to strange and dangerous places but get jittery if someone breaks the speed limit); politically both red and green.
