I joined Up With People because:
It combined everything I was interested in -- special events, music, travel, diverse people, etc.
Favorite memory from staging:
Les Franklin and Carolyn Lee.
Favorite city during our tour and why:
Thun, Switzerland -- had an awesome time with Laura and Victor on PR and had a blast with the "Don't worry be happy" theme. Remember the boat tour, swiss army knives, toblerone and fondue night?
Since Up With People I am:
Married to Dave.
Occupation:
Mum, me, Marketing, Dave!
Kids names and ages:
Charlie, 4 and a half weeks
Greatest Accomplishment(s) since leaving UWP:
The birth of our gorgeous new son, Charlie on November 24, 2001. Before that -- working on the Sydney 2000 Olympic Torch Relay, organising the tour through 13 countries in the Pacific and then travelling around Australia with the Torch for 100 days -- just awesome!
What you are doing now:
Trying to figure out parenthood! Enjoying time with Dave and Charlie.
Other Information You Want to Share:
This year Dave and I went camping for 10 weeks in the Northern Territory and Queensland during my pregnancy. It was fantastic -- we saw heaps, did lots of hiking, some sea-kayaking and gained a new appreciation for our enormous and amazing country.
