About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling the world and never look back.

ABOUT ME

Funny, easy going, love traveller, still looking for my own path.

I don't eat meat, but I don't mind if you do.

I don't use CS as an alternative to Tinder or any other dating app/website, so please do the same while you are visiting.
It really gets weird and breaks the atmosphere and the good vibes when you sleep under the same roof if you try to hook up and there is no signal to go ahead on the other side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been traveling around the world for the past 3 years and many people hosted me along my way... I guess it's time to give it all back and open my doors to other wandering souls!

Interests

I recently fell into this swing dance/lindy hop addiction and it's really hard to get rid of it now. I go dancing almost every weekend so if you visit me expect to be dragged into this amazing world!

I also like hiking, trying new places out, going to concerts, museums, exhibitions, theatre and cinemas.
I always know what's going on in town and my friends make fun of me because I'm interested in almost any event that shows up on my FB page. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in DC for the first Obama's election and I attended his speech at Capitol Hill; lived in New York; dived with a white shark in South Africa; quit my job and started traveling the world solo; hitchhiked from Cairns to Sydney... just me, my KMart tent and I; jumped on a 16 hours train in Myanmar; had a car crash with a cow in the middle of the Australian desert; swam with a whale shark in Western Australia; attended the Pamplona Feira on San Fermin; slept in a Buddhist monastery; hitchhiked in Yunnan and Western Sichuan province, China.

But the best is yet to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH:
I could teach you some lindy hop moves, Italian language and gestures, how to leave on a tight budget, how to cook Pasta and eat proper Italian food, how to ride a scooter in Italy.

LEARN:
I would like to learn more about photography, meditation, yoga.

SHARE:
Laughs, chats, good vibes, wine, carbs, a cozy home and... Milan!
