One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing over 30 towns and cities in Italy during my Erasmus year.

Windsurfing Cape Verde. - sorry, that's two!

Teach, Learn, Share

I learnt fluent Italian in 6 months - not saying it to show off but just to share how. There's no secret:
Be openminded. Really, REALLY listen to the language. Live there and speak it the whole time, through the headaches and struggles. Have the confidence to talk to native speakers and also read, write and think to yourself as much as you can to really immerse yourself in the language, (if that's what you actually do want to get out of travelling!) If not then just have a laugh. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Usually I end up being the delegated event organiser among my friends and colleagues.

Underground wine bar? Rooftop club? Speak-easy hidden behind that door? Sure, I know the place ;p
