ME

I teach English at a small school just outside Milan. I've been here for almost 2 years. While here I've discovered a love for the mountains, enjoying a lot of great hikes and making new friends, amazingly, from all over the world. I've learnt Italian from nothing, through language exchanges and teaching myself. I've started skiing and playing volleyball. And of course, I enjoy visiting the beautiful towns, beaches and islands of Italy. Getting to know Italians has been fun, with their charming mannerisms, traditions and delicious food.

Before this I lived in Manchester for 10 years, indulging in football and live music.

I love learning new things - especially sports and languages - and enjoying the outdoors.

I did an Erasmus year in Berlin when studying German and Philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For sharing experiences, knowledge, food, kindness (and accommodation)... To trust the world.

To explore Italy... and beyond.. To make travelling more sociable and enriching. To learn more and more and more!

For unlikely and fun places to stay!
