Elephants and grandchildren never forget.
I've always been the girl who can't sit on her hands. If there's a pink elephant in the room, I'll identify it and say it.

I really enjoyed staying at an encampment at the top of a hill in the Samburu Reserve in Kenya.

Apart from using it to spread the word about my translation company Blue Elephant and to talk to fans, I find social media an extremely powerful forum for charity.
I started a company in 2005 for language services called Blue Elephant. We handle translation and interpretation services in over 120 languages.
The truth is, I have an excellent team, a staff that handles Blue Elephant, my translation company, perfectly. It is like a well-oiled machine.
