An air stewardess.
What’s on your bucket list?
Love travelling- I want to go to Australia to visit family, Hawaii and many other places.
Heard any good tips lately?
Always keep a cheap bottle of white wine in the house, if you ever spill your red you don’t want to be putting a good white on it to clear it up!
