Freelance Guide for British tour operators and island of Elba Cruise ship agencies.
Voluntary English Language Teacher
English Language Instruction
Assisting and enriching the English language teaching curriculum in local middle and senior secondary level schools, on the island of Elba in Italy.
兴趣: After qualifying many years ago as a mental health nurse in England, I was also fortunate enough to travel throughout Europe, choosing eventually, to make my new home in Italy where I became a tourist guide on the beautiful Tuscan island of Elba. I consider myself to have been very lucky and perhaps my greatest asset in living such privileged experiences, is having being gifted the English language as my mother tongue!
It's no surprise that my past training in metal health nursing helped to enrich my eventual career in guiding tourists around Tuscany as both occupations are heavily dependent upon being very patient and super people friendly, with above all, excellent communication skills!
I'm a big nature fan and enjoy simple pleasures such as reading and gardening, walking, swimming, classical and rock music and above all, being creative, especially with patchwork.
I have family and friends in both England and in Ireland and when possible, I like to visit as often as I can.
