Chiang Mai Noodles.

Prince, Michael J Fox & Ricky Gervais.

Seafood Chowder.

Where is your dream holiday destination?

North America. Canada and of course New York!

What were you like as a kid?

A handful! I am so grateful my kids are better behaved than I was.

The first real job I had was working at McDonald’s part time.

What are the most used apps on your phone?

Duolingo – brushing up on my Japanese and Google Drive.
