How do you feel about sharing your home with a stranger? To some people this is an odd, if not downright scary, idea. How can you know they are not an axe-wielding murderer?

I am a Londoner born and bred, and have worked in education for over 30 years. I am currently studying a course on the history of the City of London. I am discovering many new and exciting things about the city and I love it! My first visit to Spain was when I was 16 and did a Spanish exchange in Madrid and Segovia. I was hooked by the language, food, culture and the weather - and I still am!
