Sometimes in Life is it me or do you wonder why you do things ? Put yourself through a certain challenge, event or meeting when it is always easier to say no or turn the other way. Lets take the easier route instead of the route less travelled, well in the case of appearing tonight on BBC3’s The last millionaire, you can guess it was an experience that I won’t forget for all the right reasons. Every year for the past few years I have been offered something by the BBC, some show or idea well in March this year when the producer flew in to Glasgow to meet me, I thought why not.

The concept of the show appealed to me, take 12 determined,competitive business owners throw us together in a country were there is no pre planning, no phones,no basics and set up a business, and every weeks 2 people get to go home if they make the most money, until the last man or woman is standing. My goodness what a challenge or what a potential disaster. It would be fabulous or hideous.

After living on a mountain in Barcelona, building and designing a house, setting up a business, cultural differences, 2 languages catalan and spanish, trying to do the basics in life that you take for granted here (siestas etc..) I thought bring on this challenge it will be fun. How wrong can one girl be !

I am not going to spoil the show, but my personal viewpoint was take extreme, double it, add on a dash of playground behaviour and you have a receipe of what Reality TV is like. The city we flew in to was Istanbul, which I had never been to. It is amazing on all levels. So A big thank you to everyone who helped me and my business partner for that week and although it was unbelievably tough it was great. I met some fantastic people and for sure it’s a country for business, enjoyment and fun. Maybe next time I return without the Tv crews. Also a thank you to the BBC for spotting the Diva in me that everyone for sure who knows me will laugh at. Un beso.

Ps. The photos used really scare me, never squint at the camera………………………………This is why I have chosen George Frier the 2Fluid fish.
