My husband, Barney, and I are retired academics and have travelled in around 60 countries.

We volunteered at a little school in India for a month every year for 10 years (Until COVID stopped us travelling). We also volunteer at music festivals and at our local community centre.

We have hosted 80 people in our home over the last 10 years.

We love to learn about new cultures and are looking forward to our first trip to Japan.
