What is one thing you absolutely will check off your “bucket” list:

It is a life long ambition to pass my PPL(H). I have loved helicopters since I was a child and adore the freedom of flying where the views can not be beaten.

 

If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

I would go to New Orleans to experience the complete Mardi Gras celebration – The floats , the music, the colours and the partying. It always looks so amazing and I’d love to be there.
