Isabel Lavender Biography

I have had an interesting and unusual childhood. I was born in Denmark (Aalborg) to a Danish mother and Spanish born father, he became a Danish citizen and we always communicated in Danish. Before his arrival in Spain he went to Germany and got trained as an airplane mechanic with Lufthansa. In Denmark he got a job with F.L. Smith (a large Danish cement factory construction company) and when I was 3 we first went to Madrid for a year, then Barcelona and Seville. We spent a month in Venice,1 year in Turkey,1 year in Poland,1 year in Iraq and finally 1 year in Indonesia. During our travels we also holidayed in a variety of countries such as: Cyprus, Syria, Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka and most of Europe. When I was 12 my mum and I stayed in Denmark for my education my father continued to South America which was the beginning of the end to their marriage. I finished school did an IB and then Uni for 3 years, I also did a bit of modeling and ended up in the Miss Denmark final. My mother met a Danish man who owned fish conserves factories and as he sold them they moved to Marbella/Spain. I am extremely close to my mum and came out with them the first year and loved it. I also loved my time in Denmark but always felt a bit different. I then went to Uni and liked it so much I decided to do a Master, but fate interfered... I used to come for long holidays in Marbella and in 1994 after graduation I had been here for 4 days and went to the Port on a girls night out and met someone really special and stayed. I am still here but not with the special one anymore have had soooo many different jobs such as: Roller Blading instructor, Fitness Instructor, Receptionist, TV Presenter, PA and Real Estate. I have finally begun to write my book a self biography, I have met a few famous people but there will be no kiss and tell only an interesting journey of a little girl who lived like no one else... Through adversity, serious illness, divorce, poverty, wealth, false rumors, near fatal car crash etc. but always tried to keep my integrity.
