About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn some Irish tunes on my lovely red accordion

ABOUT ME

I love to meet people and hear about their adventures - it makes me feel like I'm travelling even when I'm not. There is little that makes me happier than a patch of grass on a sunny day. I like to climb around on abandoned buildings and discover the view. I would wither away if I were deprived of books. I have no self-control when it comes to chocolate or cake. I am accident-prone - do not entrust me with your fragile belongings.
