Andrew Walkley and I worked at the same language school in Valancia when Andrew was living here with his family a few years ago. But he left Valencia and we lost touch with each other, as people do, so I was really pleased to meet up with him at a teaching conference in the Uk this year.
We had lunch together during the conference and he told me about an exciting new project he’s started in London so I wanted to bring him on the podcast to speak about it.
