About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Bologna, Italy!

ABOUT ME

Mum of two, I am an author of Young Adult novels and a teacher of Italian Language. I love reading ( of course!), dancing (especially belly dance, my food for the soul), exploring new places and new people with my two cheeky monkeys by my side.

PHILOSOPHY

Ghandi said: " If you want to change the world, you have to be the changement"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to move to Bologna in Italy in few months and I am looking for British families who live there or more generally I would like to discover a wider international community based in Bologna or Northern Italy.

Interests

I am into creative writing, storytelling and dancing.
I write for work and for passion but I dance to survive!
I discovered belly dancing eight years ago and I am still absolutely in love with it. I love performing it for an audience, teaching it but especially dancing for my self.
