My name is Jess and I am a high school English teacher in a tiny Central Otago town. I am originally from England and miss the snacks there so much!I love to read and would happily spend all day talking about books if I could! I have a lovely little cat called Bean. We live by a lovely river that I love to swim in after work in the summer. My winter hobbies are about staying very cosy, usually with a book in one hand and a cup of tea in the other.I crochet, cross stitch, and hand embroider. I would love a pal to make my rural life less lonely! Maybe we could exchange book/craft parcels!
