Description

Hello! This is Andrea. I am an Italian secondary-school teacher of French as a foreign language. After teaching in a small village in an off-track, illy area in north-western Italy for several years, I have been obliged to move to an high school on Turin's outskirts, this is why in summer I normally look for nature and quietness.
I like being in contact with nature and hiking, drawing and sketching (form now and then), listening to music, chatting and listening to other people's life stories, keeping up to date about politics and media and getting to know new people.
