I am a 61 year-old single parent of a most wonderful daughter aged 35+. Born in South Africa I recently obtained my British Citizenship and relevant passport and hope to put it to good use.
It has been my dream for some years now to walk the Porto section of the Camino as well as spending a few days in Porto to explore. My father (deceased 2015) has cycled the Camino a number of times, the last being in 2015 a few months before he died at the age of 85...although he didn't complete the route due to deteriorating health. One of my younger sisters was with him at the time.
I have lived in the UK for 15 years now and have travelled extensively both in the UK and in Europe and 3 times to the USA.
I plan to buy a motor-home in 2021 and start travelling the length and breadth of the UK with occasional trips to the Continent. It's so easy it would be a shame not to.
I have completed part of Chaucer's route to Canterbury and in order to practice for the Camino I am going to continue the journey and complete it before I leave for Porto.
My passion is London and history and I have explored and visited many of the areas where Chaucer lived and worked.
I look forward to meeting fellow pilgrims in September.
