Gold Coast, Australia
It was a surprise move really. I put my Shanghai apartment on the market and had a cash buyer within a week. The deal was all done within the month. So where to go.... as I have an Australian passport and I am an Australian citizen, Queensland, Australia was a place that had the climate and the lifestyle so I made the move. After 18 months in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast I got itchy feet and decided to go to Spain. I can travel anywhere though so if you want to book me, use the contact page
Marbella, Spain
After 18 months in Australia, the European bug got to me so I moved to Puerto Banus / Marbella where I have a lovely apartment called La Trinidad. Now I am learning Spanish language as well as getting thr word out that I am now residing in Spain. I have a new dog who is a one year old rescue dog from a local Dogs Home (called www.tripleamarbella.org) and he is a lovely boy ! Having fun teaching him and he is so thankful that I saved him from being put down.
Mamma Mia
Many people have asked me what it was like to play a lead role of Tanya in the hit Chinese production of the legendary hit musical Mamma Mia. Well after more than 420 performances, in dozens of cities across China, I think I am suitably qualified to tell you the story. I feel I should write a book! Infact I would love to write my autobiography, I just need a good writer. Hey, it may even become a hot film or a musical itself haha ! You can learn more about Mamma Mia and see the original cast list in Wikipedia

Crazy Fridge
In November 2017, I was invited to take part in TV program in China with a name (translated from Chinese to English) which means Crazy Fridge. This was an interesting food program and can be seen at YouTube at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wNS1M0l6xU&feature=youtu.be or click the image on the left
Haikou Concert
In the last week in December 2017 I took a flight to Haikou in Southern China at the invitation of Hainan Airlines to take part as a VIP in a concert in the lead up to New Years Eve. This 30th December concert was infront of some 25,000 people and I sang 3 songs being Dancing Queen, Unchained Melody and my famous song which is actually about Sanya, a resport town not far from the Hainan capital of Haikou.

Mamma Mia 2
I heard through the grapevine that the production company had decided to do a second season of Mamma Mia. I put my name down for the auditions and was selected to go along for the third round. There was more than 800 hopefuls at the auditions and I gave it my best shot. Well the good news is that I recently received was I have got the part of Tanya and will be doing no less than 350 performances with rehearsals starting early September 2018, first show in November 2018 and then performances in major cities for one year with some time off in between.
Mamma Mia 3
On 27 May 2018, I leave my Marbella home (I now have my Spanish residencia) and will be flying with IBERIA the Spanish National Airline all the way from Malaga to Shanghai.
