One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My boyfriend and I drove to Timbuktu in Mali in West Africa in a charity raising convoy in a battered Peugeot 205 car. We drove down through France and Spain, across to Morroco, down the western coast, through Mauritania national park, through the desert and inland to Mali. It was a massive culture shock, positive experience and a little scary too, it was the first real adventuring i ever did and I've not really stopped since =)
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm learning Spanish so want to keep practising, I could teach beginners knitting and love learning anything new people can show me. you should be like a sponge, absorbing all the new titbits of knowledge life throws at you.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A warm loving household with great food and great people to meet! we have 3 lovely cats, so if you're allergic, alas, this place isn't for you x
