I grew up in a small town in Southern California. Desiring to live a sophisticated life I moved to Beverly Hills and practiced real estate, played and taught tennis, and traded commodities. Later I moved to Palm Springs, CA and befriended Frank Sinatra and his future wife Barbara. Then I married and moved to Monte-Carlo, MONACO where my husband resided. We traveled Europe extensively. Later I moved to Scottsdale, AZ, divorced, and became an international real estate broker and correspondent broker for the most prestigious real estate agency on the Cote d'Azur. Eventually I moved to Del Mar, CA and founded Franchise.com which provided me with many more travel experiences and stays at prestigious luxury hotels. I have since remarried and live in Spain.
