Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I love being outdoors, running, lifting weights at the gym and hiking. I also like cooking and nutrition, trying food from different countries and drinking good coffee, with good company.

Description

Before raising my family I spent time travelling as an au pair and working in tourism in Europe, particularly in Italy, Spain and Portugal. My love of travel has never left me and I am pleased to now be able to begin travelling again more frequently. I speak some Italian but I am particularly interested in learning other languages and also practicing how to live a more sustainable lifestyle through meeting like-minded people.
