About Me
- Name: Holly Finch
- Location: Newport, RI, United States
A life as an Architect in Hong Kong and a designer in London was brutally interrupted by the terrorist attacks in London on 7th July 2005. I happened to be on one of the tubes. I was unhurt, but traumatized. After a year of therapy I felt ready to fly again. Following the success of my blog, 'Am I still me?' I moved to the Caribbean to make it into a book. Once I got there I was so darn happy that I didn't want to write about bombs and PTSD any more. Instead I jumped on a saiboat and sailed to New England. I have been splitting my life between the Caribeban and New England ever since. I now work as a Captain of a 72ft sailboat. I am still blowing in the wind....
