Overview
About Me
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!
