I always loved travelling: took my first (unaccompanied) overseas flight aged 10; lots of European driving holidays with family in teens; hitched round UK and Europe; India for 7 months aged 18... then I got tied down. University, marriage, professional, second marriage.... then the stroke halfway through the breakdown of my second marriage.
Oddly, that has been a bonus: bankruptcy wiped my debts while preserving my very good pension, and while a considerable residual disability means I haven't tried skiing again and I probably couldn't balance a cycle, I have been to New Zealand, Phillippines and Portugal, and am back in travelling mode again.
Brexit has hastened my move to Portugal as a base but I see myself travelling more than remaining in one place.
Look forward to contributing and learning.
