I'm originally from a small seaside town called Anzio, even though most of the times I just say I'm from Rome, because I do feel Roman anyway.

After getting my bachelor's degree I went to Qingdao, China with an exchange programme, I taught English in a kindergarten, there is where I realised that teaching was what I wanted to do for a living.
So I went back home, finished my Masters and did CELTA in IH Riga, where I worked last year. Currently I am working for IH Almaty and enjoying life in Central Asia.

I love teaching because it gives the chance to be creative every day in different circumstances with different people.

In my free time, I like reading and discussing literature, travelling, going jogging and getting to know more about human nature in any form.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
