Author Bio's of Jenni & Duncan
Jenni Blair has a passion and a zest for life, communication, and adventure. Born in New Zealand in the 1960s, she has lived in England, Iceland, Spain and Russia. She and her Kiwi husband, Duncan, met in London; after nine years of property development and a senior role in the corporate sector, they bought an A-class Burstner motorhome and travelled Europe and the British Isles for two and a half years. On returning to NZ, Jenni set up and ran two businesses, a rental and an Airbnb management company, and sold them in 2021. Over Jenni’s career, she has owned six companies and spent 14 years in senior management recruitment at the Wellington and London companies. In her earlier career, she loved the hospitality industry, playing “hostess”, where she managed a large hotel in the ’80s, including a nightclub and a family restaurant, which she turned into a thriving one.
She is now semi-retired, living in an A-Class Dethleffs motorhome and has been travelling around New Zealand for the past three years.
With a never-ending energy for growth and self-worth, she writes self-help books with humour and authenticity. Her motto is, “You only have one life, so make it count; surround yourself with people whose company you enjoy and who make you laugh.”
Duncan James Blair was born in New Zealand in the 1940s. He has two sons and five grandchildren. Often called 'grumpy grandad', he has high standards not often appreciated by the younger generation. While all his mates were flatting, he stayed home until marriage to Jenny, bought two semi-detached flats, and rented them out. He went on to buy and sell the worst house on the best street every couple of years.
Cropping asparagus, chook and pig farming, two fish and chip businesses and a painting and decorating business in London. He and JennyNo1, the love of his life for 40 years, enjoyed 3 years in London before sadly she passed away from breast cancer. Only three months later, meeting a fellow New Zealander, Jenni2. They then spent the next 12 years in London and Europe, completing property developments and a decoration business. On retirement, he brought five remote-controlled yachts and loved the competition and camaraderie, returning to New Zealand to be close to friends and family in 2016. For the past three years, he has loved living and travelling in New Zealand, having never seen the country before going to the UK. If his week involves boating, golf, fishing, disc golf, panning for gold or biking, he’s in paradise. His summer location is Lake Taupo, living on a launch where he is known as the 'oldest teenager in town'. Friends over the years have labelled his English "Blairish", as he has been known for making them laugh by getting flustered, often getting his words wrong or transporting them differently; his motto is “life’s for living, living for life.”
