CURRENT MISSION

To explore new places, meet new people and boldly go where I haven't been!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy meeting people, going out and having fun. I like to travel, am willing to try new things and learning quickly.

I'm honest, responsible and hard working but prefer to relax than stress. Anything, else ask me?

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is for living not spectating"

"There are two truths there is one God and you are not he"

"The race isn't to the strong, the wise or the swift but time and chance happen to them all"

"....So I can, I shall and I will."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a sunday school teacher at church, I worked with a young autistic boy who had anti-social behaviour due to scratching and biting other children and adults.
So I become his one to one teacher and on one occassion his was restless so I held craddled him in my arms so he could here my heartbeat and looked in his eyes's like he's my child a life changing moment.
His mum left the church and stopped coming after that time but later I saw his anut and she told me his behaviour had totally improved at home and at school, she was really pleased and so was I, I had prayed for him that day and God had answered, so amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Learn from others mistakes, not just your own; cause experience is the best teacher but the school fee's are high."

"Life is a gift to be enjoyed and an opportunity to make difference."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been living in Lecco for almost 5 years and now speak Italian, so i can show you around the Lecco side of Lake Como and Milan. We have mountain hikes, open markets, bike paths, lovely food and wine. The people are warm if you try to speak in Italian or French or Spanish and a few speak English and or German. There is also the winter sports in the mountains around the lake and the travel is very cheap except taxi's.
