New year, new beginnings!

A big hello to the Steemit community!
This is my first post, so will keep it short and sweet; an introduction to what you are likely to find here.

Write ups on my adventures
I grew up and have lived and worked in number of countries all over the world so my fascination with culture and travel is never ending. If I didn’t have to work and look after my family, I would be on an endless discovery trip, taking photographs and learning about and from other people and places.

Recipes and food
I love to cook and share family recipes so if you are into healthy Mediterranean food (my area of expertise) you could find inspiration for your next supper here. As well as reviews to restaurant experiences...

The restaurant at The Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam.

Design talks, illustrations, art and tips
I freelance in marketing and graphic design but I also teach graphic design and illustration and therefore I always have a research topic on the go. I believe that to discover an artist's creative process, to see how they work and how they develop their skills is as important as each finished piece of artwork. I hope to share some of my work and the process as well as my experience of other artists' work here.

My hobbies
In addition to all the above I have a soft spot for cacti and sailing, there will be some posts on these...

A small selection of my cacti...

So I hope you enjoy! And I look forward to your feedback and getting to know more about you :)

Happy New Year!!
