About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Becoming a doctor and finding out what has life in store for me...and where!

ABOUT ME

According to a good friend of mine who studies Mayan Archeology I was born in the < Wayeb' > period of the mayan calendar, which basically means I'm Lady Bad Luck's little bitch.. Yes, I'm a bit of a Donald Duck but I don't complain about it, I actually enjoy most of the weird and unlucky situation I get into, sometimes they turn out being really enjoyable stories =) ...and I got the "Unlucky Mutant" nickname, which is a story itself =D

But enough blabbering, why not meeting me in person and find out? I think it's the best and only way to get to know someone... Anything else I would write here would be only my impression of myself, which I suppose is different from how most of the people see me.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have any profound religious beliefs if not that I want to treat other people the way I would like them to treat me.
...
"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion." Abraham Lincoln

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By talking about it to anyone I know and getting to know people that pass by my town, unless I'm busy otherwise! Now that after two years abroad I'm finally back in Italy I'm finally hosting too =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've discovered Couchsurfing by chance only a few month ago and I loved the idea from the start! I tried it out in October while passing by Barcelona, I didn't have much time but it was awesome! I'm eager to repeat it =)

Interests

traveling (never done it completely alone or without somebody waiting at the end of the ride, hope i'm gonna do it soon)
cooking and eating (expecially when I'm abroad or with people i want to get to know better)
speak and learn different languages (right now I'm trying to improve my french)
watching movies (possibly in their original language)
books (less than what I would like, too many distractions)
comic books (every kind)
rpg videogames (i used to go crazy for them when i was younger, now it's been some years i don't touch them... but you never know when the monkey comes back =D )
beer (the cause of and solution to all life's problem =P )
talkin' talkin' talkin'....

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really don't think anything I've done until now can actually be claimed as "amazing", not when there are people like doctors or firefighters that save other people's life.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing I learned from past experiences is with each and every new person you meet you mature a bit more as a person... Many (but not all) things I like and I know and the way I am now are the final result of what other people shared with me...I hope I'll able to do the same with you too.

Maybe it will be a side of yourself you didn't know, maybe just a cherished memory we are going to build together with this experience, maybe the worst hangover ever, maybe something i always knew, maybe something i just discovered, maybe something we discovered together, maybe the worst bad luck we could ever imagine, maybe a place or even a new person... but for sure, something new will come out of this. That's life.

PS
If you read the "all about me" part you might already have learned something new about Mayas... See? It works! =)
