About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Writing a book about my Great Grandfather who sailed the seven seas between 1899-1918

ABOUT ME

I grew up in England, Italy and the ÜSA, but I currently call London home. Friends would say I am full of energy and one of the most active people they know. I like to makes the most out of my time, enjoy sports and learning new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been relatively inactive but want to reconnect to the community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone I have contacted so far has been really nice and helpful - thanks!

Interests

I like to have a lot of things on the go - when in London I enjoy spending time with my friends, visiting exhibitions, playing sport and making the most of the cultural activities available. When travelling I am interested to see how people live and get into the flow of a new place!
