About the host

Hosted by Tracy Dickerson

Host profile image
Hi, I'm married and we've got a lovely 13 year old daughter called Mia and a very cute border terrier called Tilly. We love to travel around the UK and the world, showing Mia all the wonderful places we visited before she was born.

We both run our own businesses (communications and plumbing) so we've got a great work life balance. This means we get to spend lots of time at our cottage in West Dorset enjoying the local beaches with Mia and the dog. Thailand is our all time favorite overseas destination, we've yet to take Mia!

We are all fully house trained and we treat other peoples homes with as much care and pride as we do our own.
