About Me
Hello, my name is Tatum. I’m half Sri Lankan and half Belgian. I recently moved back to my hometown and I’m currently living alone (my kids visit on the weekends) and I have a spare room that is gathering dust. I’ve traveled a bit so I understand how it can sometimes get lonely and scary. Just know this is a safe space! Positive vibes only!
