Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am Italian but I have been living in Australia for the past 30 years.
I am 58 years old.
I work as a counsellor/psychotherapist and for the past years I have been working online. This allows me to take my work with me everywhere.
As a young woman I travelled a lot, living in different parts of the world, before meeting an Australian and settling in Melbourne.
I spent a year in Thailand volunteering in a guest house. It was1990, before the internet! Workaway makes it a lot easier to travel and volunteer.
I enjoy meeting new people, have interesting conversations, explore new places, cook and try different cuisine and food.
I love dancing.
I practice yoga regularly and try to walk everyday, even though I prefer reading a book then exercising!
