We’re a couple in our 30's who met working for the same company in Chelmsford, Essex in the UK. Bronia is a Canadian/British hippychick hailing from Vancouver who loves the outdoors. Dave grew up in Billericay, Essex and loves his sport, music and the odd ale with the requisite "doner kebab".

My Grandfather's home
Hey B. Just wanted to let you know that I visited Kerala when I was about 12 years old. We visited my Grandad (my dad's side) there. I don't remember it much but I do remember my Grandad taking me to the beach and showing me how to repair fishing nets. Hope you are having a wonderful time. Looking forward to reading more about your travels and seeing your photos. love, nonie
