About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to travel. I really enjoy having an interesting chat over some good food and drink. Song (my partner) and I live together in a house which has more room than we know what to do with, so we're more than happy to have some friendly and interesting people like yourself to come stay with us. I'm a primary teacher and Song is a doctor. We'll happily play some games with you and give you some travelling advice, although you're probably not going to find a big party here.
