The face of Wild Azur… Who is Bella Rose?

 

Born and raised in Mallorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, Isabella Woolger, to look at, is a vivacious and striking young woman, with the world at her feet, ready to take on all of life’s wondrous challenges … but scratch the surface just a little and you find out just how Bella Rose inherited her strength, captivating joie de vivre, and radiant beauty both inside and out… This, is Bella’s story…

‘The tale starts with my grandmother, Lyra… as one of 13 children living in a one room hut in the islands of the Seychelles, life as a child was not easy. There was never enough food to feed the family and the eldest children were sent away to work at a very young age… luckily for Lyra, a different fate was bestowed upon her. One day, walking along the shores of the island, Lyra met a young French couple who were Lepidopterologists (lepidopterology being the study of moths and butterflies). This couple adopted her as their helper on their expedition. They took her around the world to discover new species and educated her in French, teaching her how to read and write. Although Lyra suffered many harrowing events throughout her childhood along with her siblings, her incredible strength and hope brought her to eventually leave the hard life in the Seychelles. Many years later, Lyra and her siblings (almost all thirteen of them) were re-united in Australia where they all lived in the same house as adults!

In 1997 Bella was born into the golden arms of the Mediterranean’s Jewel of the Ocean… Mallorca. Here Bella has grown up, speaking three languages and, just like her grandmother, grabbing all of life’s opportunities with full force. We are thrilled to welcome Bella into our Wild Azur tribe and, with baited breath, we watch this tale continue to unfold as Bella picks up the baton…
