Your Host

Creative person, young at heart, love to share. I enjoy visiting art galleries, going to the theatre and regulalry walk up the road to the Rio cinema; one of my favorite spots! I enjoy taking advantage of the wonderful variety of music venues in London, classical, world and jazz. I participate in several volunteering projects at a local hospice and also take part in different community activities. I am retired so have various projects I employ my time with in and out of my home. I enjoy good food and cooking, often continental and asian, but I'm keen to try my taste buds on new ingredients and happy to share tips on healthier ways of living! Sometimes when eating out in good company at the various local restaurants I get inspired! My son and daughter in their 30's and 40's like to visit, as they both live abroad. The flat I live in is a home. I consider myself a joyful friendly person that likes my independence but will not turn down a good cup of tea or coffee (generally in the morning!) around the kitchen table!

Speaks: English and Italian

Sleeps like a: regular sleeper

Takes tea: i'm a coffee person
