I’m Tess, and I’m going to be traveling with my partner Hugh! We are new to CS and we are going to be in Vancouver, Kelowna, Seattle and Portland before we head onward to live in Germany for the next few years. Both of us are Australians, and have been living in Brisbane but we are excited to meet new people, see new things, and learn new languages in our travels!
