Happy birthday to my beautiful nanna! I wish you were here with me in beautiful Italy to celebrate. I am going to organize a game of bingo with my new friends to celebrate. Maybe I can incorporate drinking into it, I hope you are having a great day. I miss you!!

I am currently in a Italian coast town in north italy, it's called Rimini. It's known as a crazy party city where travelers come to relax and drink. I scored an amazing job in a hostel right near the beach. My job consists of waking up at 8.30 and taking care of breakfast and talking to the guests, then I pack up after breakfast and help with some laundry. I am finished by lunch time! Then I help an amazing Spanish man cook the staff a feast. I have never eaten so well, I love it. We all sit around drink wine and eat delicious foods! Most of the staff speak Italian so I can't understand much but it's a great vibe and I'm learning a lot. There is an Australian volunteer here with me, we share a room and spend a lot of time hanging out. The entertainer and events manager here is this fabulous gay man from England. His so energetic and friendly and we go out every night. He knows everyone so I get lots of VIP attention! It's his birthday today do its going to be a crazy night!

Tomorrow we are having a party for him, with free pasta for all the guests, a live band and lots of drinking. I can't wait. I'm really loving it here, it's going to be hard to leave. I'll be heading to the Greek islands after this so which I'm really looking forward too!
