Descrição
Ciao a tutti.
I love travelling, meeting people , experiencing other cultures and have a positive outlook to life.
My ideal workaway placement would be a hosting opportunity with someone who wanted help with studying English language , house or pet sitting or elderly companion and also with a good internet connection.
I am honest, practical, trustworthy , clean, tidy, reliable ,fun loving, have a good sense of humour (or so I think) and I am a native English speaker . I also speak Italian to intermediate level but would like to improve . if only my Italian was good enough to understand inspector montalbano .... but perhaps nobody's Italian is good enough !
Conservation, sport, art, history, animals and nature are particularly important to me and I have just started learning pottery and working as a film extra.
I am a retired professional computer IT consultant and work for one of the UK's major Banks. my hobbies are sports , walking, yoga ,pottery and have done very minor film extra work. I have five children who are all now all independent adults and now retired wish to travel more and improve my Italian which goes rusty so quickly.My father was English (Cornish) and my mother Italian. I would love to experience more of beautiful Italy , it's people , art, history, it's food of course and hopefully to improve my Italian.
I am physically fit, love sport and most outdoor activities like walking, cycling and swimming in the sea. I go to the gym for yoga or training almost every day. On weekends I regularly go walking in the beautiful Dorset countryside or along cornwalls equally beautiful coastal path with members of the UK Ramblers.
I have provided English conversation classes to adults at an English language school in Italy in the past.
I studied Zoology at university and other interest are art, history, ceramics/pottery, swimming, chess, backgammon, kayaking, cycling, table tennis, cafe culture and the seemingly never ending task of trying to improve my Italian. However I am also very happy just relaxing and enjoying la-dolce vita. -
