Company info

Welcome to paradise and be at home away from home with me, Peter, as your host. A Development Economist graduating from the University of East Anglia in UK my career has propelled me to Diplomacy as the first resident High Commissioner for the Republic of Seychelles to the Republic of South Africa. I then spent 6 years in Tunis as Alternate and eventually Executive Director for the African Development Bank. Upon my return I was called to the Cabinet of Ministers as th Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Industry and Investment from 2010 to 2014. Over those years, hosting and being hosted was very much part of my life. Now I just feel like doing it for real and for me and my guests - so welcome!!!
