Hi, I'm Trevor, a business owner in my mid-fifties. I'm semi-retired, have two grown-up kids and live a fulfilling life with my wife in Devon. I'm passionate about blues guitar and live music. I'm also an avid traveller, always ready for a new adventure. I love a good laugh, especially with a great comedy. When I'm not exploring new places or immersed in music, you can find me savouring Italian food. Above all, I'm polite, down to earth, and have a strong sense of humour. Looking forward to being your host!
