My home is situated in Sherwood a district in the City of Nottingham. I live in a good area of the city. I have a nice quiet home which is comfortable and welcoming. My home is just a 10-minute bus ride from the city centre.
I am an experienced host and have made many friends with the students who have stayed with me who tell me that they have been very happy with their stay.
Description as a Host
I am very relaxed, kind and caring as a person with a good sense of humour. I enjoy meeting new people and learning from them about other cultures. I have had many Italians students stay with me and find some similarities in Italian culture with mine. Although born in London my parents were from Ireland therefore, my cultural background is in the main Irish with a mix of Britishness. I like to cook good nutritious food and enjoy the company of my guests in conversation. I am a qualified English teacher of many years so understand the language needs of students. I would feel unhappy if any student staying with me did not feel safe, secure and comfortable with me or not have their needs met.
