CURRENT MISSION

Embrace Italian life, culture and language.

ABOUT ME

I am a 26 year old from Melbourne currently living in Florence, Italy. With Italian heritage and inspired by my Nonna who speaks only Italian in her old age, I am on a mission to improve my Italian language skills. What better way to reach fluency than to just throw myself in the deep end and live in Italy!
I spent the summer of 2012 travelling through southern Italy and am now living in Florence where I have just completed a 12 week language course, where I am making lots of new friends and where I hope to find a touch of work before I head off onto some more Italian adventures.

I am a fairly carefree person and after a busy and somewhat stressful year of Melbourne life, I have taken to simply going with the flow and slowing down for the moment...I am open to new opportunities and experiences that may come my way in the next 12 months, and while I have no idea how this year will unfold, I'm excited to find out!

I am a pretty happy chappy who likes to share a few corny jokes, sit in the sun, drink good coffee and people watch.

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow.
Know and remember at least one good joke.
Learn lots. Knowledge is never a burden.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first swing dancing class was pretty amazing. I was addicted from that moment on!
I'd also have to say that watching the birth of a baby (which I did as a physiotherapy student at a Melbourne maternity hospital) was more amazing and special than I can possibly describe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to knit.
I'm attempting to learn how to play the ukulele but could definitely do with a little help!
