My pleasure, Vicky.

I've lived in Mumbai all my life. I'll be moving to Bournemouth in September for my Masters degree. Can't wait!

Perhaps we will run into each other sometime! :)

Cheers

Thanks for the friend request!

I see you are moving to the UK later this year. Have you been here before? I live just above London, in a large village.
