Description
I live in London and love all the culture that a big global city offers. Having said that I also make sure to spend several months a year in nature and traveling. My daughter and new granddaughter live in Tokyo so I have been out there for a few months helping them over the winter. I have a son who works in Tv and film also in London.
I was widowed in 2019 when I was just 56. Since then much has happened but now I have retired from my career mostly managing arts organisations in recent years. I was also a trained teacher and coach with a varied career. I want to relearn and brush up on some of the languages I learnt when I was young particularly speaking Italian and French.
I’m a free spirit, like to eat healthily and love walking and swimming and yoga etc. I am easy to talk to and very relaxed and adaptable. I’m willing to join in with whatever. I’d like to stay in Italy for a few weeks initially probably on some language exchange but also open to other opportunities. -

Kathrine also has a good command of Italian.
The days I spent with her flew by, and I hope to see her again … read more
