Overview
About Me
"As a retired primary school teacher, I've spent most of my life in Newcastle, with a memorable seven-year stint teaching in London. I'm passionate about traveling, meeting new people, and capturing life's moments through photography. When I'm not exploring, you can find me cycling or hiking.
Recently, I was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, which has left me wheelchair-bound. Although the road to recovery is slow, I remain optimistic. I'm grateful for my caregiver, who assists me five days a week. I'm still happy to host guests in my flat, which I share with two others and my affectionate cat, Milo. My housemates, Keanu (21) and Ben (32), are also eager to meet new people. We look forward to welcoming you!"
