Working for a security division of DeBeers, Sloane could have been much higher up the corporate ladder some time ago, but chooses to live her life differently. She is part adventurer, part adrenaline junkie and part romantic. Sloane is optimistic. She does not know how to fail, or to give up. No matter how difficult the task, she manages to see the prize at the end and goes forward with enthusiasm until she reaches it. It is the quality that makes her successful. When she occasionally comes up empty handed, she finds herself reviewing her life and her lack of accomplishments. She wonders about her decisions to chase these kinds of adventures and thinks about her sister who is married and has children, and wonders if life is passing her by.
