Hi emmaj, I'm in the same situation (27m from Italy - just arrived 10 days ago), besides that my girfriend is gonna join me here only in a couple of months. Anyway I'm looking for a house that can suit for the two of us.
I'm working in the week days, but I can go visiting or having lunch without many problems, and of course on the weekends I've got more time for some tourism!
If you want to catch up just write me an email:
[email protected]
everyone else that want to join is more then welcomed
Cheers
