CURRENT MISSION

Ex-actor and EFL teacher now scribbling for a living

ABOUT ME

I love cats, hate trifle, and drive like a maniac. Originally from the UK, I now live here in Sicily and love it.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, laugh

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have an available couch, but I enjoy getting involved with the events here in Catania and meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting new people, hanging out on the beach, drinking Fernet Branca and Coke.

Interests

cats, reading, writing, singing, acting, aperol spritz, fernet branca and coke, classic Fiat 500s (LOVE!), southern Italy, Sicily, speaking Italian (badly) and trying to improve, cheesy 80s pop, dancing like a crazy person, hanging out with tall people so I can wear heels, caffè in ghiaccio

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm with Neil Gaiman on this one: 'Picking [five] favourite books is like picking the [five] body parts you'd most like not to lose.' How do you choose these things?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Girl's gotta keep some things secret, right? Let's swap stories when we meet. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a qualified English teacher and a trained actor and singer. I also love to write, cook and take photographs, and people say they enjoy the products of all of these. Sometimes they even pay me for them.

So, what about you? Can you play the didgeridoo? Do you know how to dance the pasa doble? What's your favourite food that I've never tried? I'd love to learn from you ...
