    I am a restaurant manager in Rome. I enjoy working in fast-paced environments and you won’t find me clock-watching! I thoroughly enjoy attending to people’s needs and supporting team members where needed.
  3. Where do you currently live?
    I live in a house with my wife and our two children. Our house is quite spacious, however not overwhelmingly big. We have a lovely garden where we enjoy spending time on a sunny day.
  4. Where is your favourite place to go around Rome?
    There is a small coffee shop mg family loves to go to. The owner immediately broke the ice when we went there the first time, and has become a good friend of ours ever since.
  5. Is there a place you would like to visit someday?
    Yes! My family and I would love to realise our dream of going to London in England. We would love to see Big Ben and the Tower of London. My wife is a Shakespeare aficionado, and a trip to the Globe Theatre would be incredible.
  6. Do you have plans for this visit?
    The plan has been in the making for a couple of years now. We have been saving money to ensure we could travel comfortably, and we have researched all the sites we are interested in, as well as accommodation options.
