Hi everyone. I'm a British girl living and working in Rome as a teacher and writer. I've travelled all of my life, with my parents, and on my own, and there are still so many parts of the world I would love to discover or to know better. I love painting, dancing on my sofa, cooking all kinds of dishes, creative writing, updating my blogs, being a dork, crime fiction, cinema, all kinds of music (especially old jazz, some electronic, vintage 50s rock). I love long conversation​s, debates, good humour, crazy situations, good wine and food, food, food!!! I am open to any religion, race, idea, thought, way of life, concept of living.

I'm not interested in romance/rela​tionships, I have a partner. Just good friendship and good conversation​. I'm interested in meeting jewish people (any denomination​...) people who are happy to chat to me about Judaism (long story, i'll explain if you're curious), americans, aussies, kiwis, eccentric folk, bards, druids, fiddlers and watchmen..
.. basically, i'd be happy to meet anyone who enjoys writing letters and receiving mail the old fashioned way!

i speak italian, english, some german and some french. i can help with italian and english.

alchemy, crime fiction, medieval history, languages, drawing and sketching, painting, D.I.Y, writing, keeping diaries, travel near and far, discovering new foods, real ale, celtic culture, live music, board games, and recently, growing stuff on my balcony!

all sorts... on my shelf right now: dave brubeck, miles davis, woody herman, oscar peterson, chemical brothers, architecture​ in helsinki, beastie boys, swingers from the forties and fifties, bjork, modern chill beats, elector-hous​e, siouxie and the banshees, the clash, seu jorge, bach, puccini, debussy... the list goes on... and on...

waaaaaaay too many to list!
