My Bio

--------------------------------------------------------------
Alethea Borgman was born in England and now lives in southern Spain with her husband and resident rescue puppy "Puddles".
Her professional background lies in the commercial sectors of traditional inprint and associated online media. She spent 16 years working at a senior level for companies such as NNG(DMGT) and Reed Elsevier in the UK before making the permanent move to Spain two years ago.
'Discovering Panama was a fantastic experience,' and, to that end, Alethea and her husband bought a half acre of beach front in Bocas Del Toro in Panama. Always with a view to building their dream home, "Panama is the undiscovered gem of the Caribbean."
Much of her time is now spent writing news and food related articles for online and inprint media.
