Practice sports, read some books, and discover the world.
Following 11 years of nursing experience in italy (in operating rooms and healthcare facilities) I made the decision to travel to Australia in an attempt to live a unique life. I'm very outgoing and solar, yet there are instances when I'd rather keep essential things to myself. I enjoy experiencing new things, travelling to new places and learning about cultures that are different from my own. I also enjoy participating in outdoor sports like walking, cycling and swimming (only in the swimming pool!). I prefer to unwind with a nice book in the evening before going to bed and after a long day at work.
