    I have been immensely fortunate to live in Tunisia for the past 7 Years.
    I live on the stunningly, beautiful,unspoilt Islands of Kerkennah and absolutely love it here! The people are fantastic, the weather is great,the sea is stunning and we have have around 1 million spontaneously seeded palm trees. Sunrises are spectacular and sunsets here are magnificent.
    I want to share the Islands with you and would love to hear from you.
    Thank You for visiting my website.
