Who am I?

Hi fellow itchy soles! I am no writer, I am just a storyteller. Please bear with my flaws when it comes to writing, I just share my experience the way I would share it with a friend over a cup of tea or a pint of cider. I love to see new places and learn new things, and I blog about it for not what I have seen, but for what I have learnt. So, sorry to disappoint you, but this is not a travel blog about tips and planning. It is to inspire your hearts in some ways it did to mine. Xx
