CURRENT MISSION

learn Italian, travel the world, one country and culture at a time

ABOUT ME

I'm 27, British (don't hold it against me, was my parents' decision), and love travelling. I like sport, music, reading, film, walking around all day and night in a new city, to the extent that I'm often more tired after a short break away than when I begun, because I'm so determined not to miss anything. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=223409362 that's my facebook profile-wil friend you if you ask (teachers have to have high security settings)

PHILOSOPHY

don't live by this as much as I ought to but 'carpe diem'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I took a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings in Luxor/Thebes just as dawn was breaking, that was pretty special, I felt very privileged that day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn Italian, could teach someone French or English, or help them with either, could teach them how to play a brass instrument too (trumpet, cornet, French horn, Eb horn, euphonium, tuba, trombone...)if they happen to have one
