As towel401 said, yes you can. The issue only arises the other way around - when someone has a restriction on their licence that they can drive only an automatic.

The only problem you may have is that when you come back home, you won't want to drive a manual again! (I'm on my 4th auto now and could never go back)

No problem, just tuck your left foot under your seat a bit so you don't step on the brake thinking it's a clutch.
