About Me (Charlotte)
I currently work in Public Health, and my work takes me all over the world. I reside at sea most of the year which gives me the structure and routine I require. I live with my little chihuahua when I am home and enjoy frequenting the coastal areas with him for his exercise which I would like you to accompany me with. I enjoy reading especially topics on Politics, Feminism and Science/s, so I am looking for someone with the ability to hold conversation on a variety of topics and interests.
I enjoy travelling, and I am looking to take up a new sport soon, but I have not decided on what that will be yet, so maybe you can help me research what I would like to take up and give me some ideas.
I would love to attend a live music event which has always been on my “to do list” but I have always worried that I may become overwhelmed so I am hoping having a PA who can accompany me and keep me grounded will join me on my new ventures to experience more of life and the activities I have put off trying.
