I'm an English writer living in Milan, Italy.

I live to travel, twice a year I try to take off somewhere new, alone or with friends. I'm a bit of (read:massive) nerd and so I'm as happy in the museums and galleries of a city as I am having a beer.

I'm an inquisitive and curious person, I loves travelling and meeting new people. I enjoy learning from other cultures and sharing thoughts about anything: from music & movies to history or politics. Despite being a professional writer, I'm not great at describing myself, it's far better to meet me in person!

This is my first time couchsurfing, so any advice is welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
