Rachel Gawith
I have so far done degree in medical biochemistry in hope of becoming a forensic scientist, then demonstrated cigarette making machines all around the UK for year or so, did law degree and practised in high street firm in North West England for couple of years before getting bored of desk job and 9 'til 5 life, lived on farm for over third my life and love the countryside, animals, idea of self sufficency (to some degree - like to have large supermarket within driving distance). Left UK in 2006 for Bulgaria and over saw having new house built there and several other renovation jobs. Got into gardening, repairing mud brick walls and cementing!
I was involved in Bulgarian property sales and rentals and renovation projects for a few years. But after 3 years of hard work and stress of building and project managing, I decided to leave Bulgaria for a bit.
Spent winter of 2009 in the French Alps, skiing and snowboarding and having some 'time out'. Loved living in France but returned to Bulgaria summer 2009 to finish off projects and spend time seeing friends there. Headed back to France for winter. Initially stayed a couple of months in South West area but now in Alps and now house hunting here.
I enjoy travelling, sight seeing, experiencing new places and new cultures. Would love to see pyramids and tombs in Egypt, ice and snow and wilderness of Alaska, explore the Canadian Rockies...I am an avid skier and snowboarder and ideally would love to spend winters in the snow and summers in the sun with pool or sea close by. Working on that dream right now! And hopefully can combine with being a freelance writer.
I am an animal lover and can't pass an animal in distress so have collected a few waifs and strays over time. But now got it down to 3 dogs, having found good homes for several others.
