CURRENT MISSION

To figure out what I want to do with my life :P

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going guy who is always looking to make new friends. I like to think that I'm friendly, open to new people and experiences, and usually up for having a good time :) I can seem kind of quiet at first sometimes, but once I get talking that tends to disappear. I mostly enjoy hanging out with friends, talking over a beer or three, walking around cities and the countryside, going to concerts, and that kind of thing. I do enjoy clubbing when I'm in the right mood but usually I prefer just hanging out with some people.

I study Italian and Linguistics back in the UK, but at the moment I'm in Rome, working as an intern for the Guardian, and from January I'll be teaching English in an Italian school. This is the first time I've ever moved to another country on my own and it's exciting and scary at the same time!

Above all, I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures and ways of doing things!

PHILOSOPHY

Time enjoyed is never time wasted.
