The Antiques Diva is The Business Idea of the Month!

I have a confession to make. While I play a diva on the internet, I’m not necessarily a diva in real life. A partial diva, yes, as I adore champagne, international travel and a husband who, in general, dotes on my every whim. But there are no crying fits or shoe throwing (well, except for that one time). I don’t bathe in Evian and I only drink wine on days that end in “y”. I hate to toot my own horn, but in high school I was actually voted my school’s “most friendly student” – that I went to an exceptionally small high school has nothing to do with the outcome of the results! Last but not least, contrary to the fact that I will always choose “form over function”, I am an exceedingly pragmatic and, dare I say, responsible individual. And you may not know this about me – but I am also a business woman.
Now this little revelation is just a tiny insight into the woman behind “the diva” – and I think it’s the perfect way to offer you a chance to get to know the “me” I am when I’m not The Antiques Diva. Consider this blog a prelude, if you will, to an interview Expat Women.com conducted with me just last week. This site, designed to help women living overseas, has chosen my tour business as their Business Idea of the Month!
Happy Reading,
