Monica David was born in Zimbabwe but she grew up in Portugal, by the sea.

She has been living in London for nearly two decades, initially on and off in between travels and now permanently with her family.

Monica loves to read, photograph and travel. 

She values kindness, honesty and a good sense of humour.

 

Some unusual things she's done:
Walked on blazing hot coals with bare feet, walked what was the highest Canopy walk in the world at the time, jumped off a bridge in Victoria Falls, rafted the grade 5 Nile and swallowed half of it in Uganda, did microlighting dressed as a marshmallow, scubadived in Zanzibar, worked with street kids in Angola, drank tea with fishermen in Morocco while her clothes dried after washing them in the sea, crossed the Sahara in a convoy peeing behind the truck in order to preserve her limbs, toured around Europe with a play, played with lion and cheetah cubs, trekked to find mountain gorillas in Rwanda, rode horseback in the water in a race and skydived in Namibia between the deep blue sea and the red earth.
