Happily married with two beautiful daughters. Love travelling, experiencing new places and cultures, the beach, nature, spending time with family and friends, food, scuba diving, photography, art and design. We also LOVE hosting guests so they can experience the deep rich experience that Straddie offers! Having traveled to over 50 countries across 5 continents Straddie and in particular this house and what it offers is a rare and special find!
