Where in the world do you live? I’ve just recently moved to Turin in Italy, I am originally from the UK.

What do you do? I teach English as a foreign language and I’m also an illustrator.

One place you’d tell people to visit in your city? I haven’t been in Turin for very long but the best places I’ve been so far have been Palazzo Madama and MiaGola cat cafe.There are actually two cat cafes in Turin: MiaGola and Neko cafe. I’ve only been to MiaGola so far, it’s a great place to hang out and relax, plus the coffee is really good. Palazzo Madama is a fun museum because it includes all types of artifacts from history and there’s a lovely garden that has recently been built into the moat of the castle.

What do you khollect? I collect John Steinbeck books. I love his work, and so I’m slowly trying to buy every book he has ever written. Only second-hand books though, which gives me a great excuse to go into every English second-hand bookshop I see while I’m traveling.

What’s your favourite recipe? Lemon drizzle cake.

What’s your favourite book? Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? If it’s truly something you believe in, never stop trying.
