Born in England I went to Sydney Australia with my family aged 5 years. My work history includes fashion,beauty and decor. I trained as a beauty therapist and hairdresser in my early years. Then I became a fashion buyer for an upscale department store and eventually moving on to my own stores in fashion and homewares. My first trip to Bali was in 1978 and that became a love affair with the island and the people.
My husband and I have lived in Bali for 13 years full time and we were in export homewares and fashion also owning fashion stores in hotels,Sanur and Seminyak.In 2013 we purchased what was Irene's Homestay then for the next three years sent all our time working to renovated the property until it became Aashaya Jasri Resort.
