About me
I’m British, 55 but fit, feisty and independent – walk and cycle everywhere having given up my car. Spent 16 years of my adult life abroad, in US, Spain, Australia and Holland. Having spent too long working and stuck in a routine I’m now desperate to take 6 months off next year and travel in South America – at this point primarily Peru and Bolivia. Would really like to give up work and travel indefinitely but not sure that’s quite feasible without renting out my house and living in the shed for the rest of my life and existing on a diet of gruel, crusts and weak tea. So 6 months in South America would be a good start to reactivating the travel bug.Recent activity
