I'm currently a translator, but I've also worked as an English teacher and a journalist. Music is probably my greatest passion, and I'm an avid listener and a musician. I also really like food, and am a pretty competent cook. I like cycling, photography, and I also do Pilates to counteract my sedentary lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been lucky enough to be introduced to a place by a local plenty of times: Iceland, Ireland, Australia, Italy, the UK... and I think it's the best way to truly experience and learn about a place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It must be the general peace and calm at sunset on Christmas Eve, 1998. I was staying at my secondary school in Dingli, and as the sun set over the school's grounds I felt a sense of peace and awe which remains with me to this day. I was 11 at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could probably teach you how to improve your pictures, how to play guitar (given enough time) and how to cook like me (ie not very well).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Language knowledge, recipes, guitar, photography, IT tips. I'm pretty handy.
