CURRENT MISSION

To not fall on a cactus

ABOUT ME

I'm American & Italian, born in Chile and grew up around the world.

I'm pretty easygoing but like to be active and involved in lots of things. I'm always up for anything to do with art, music, indie movies, politics and food!

I like to see beauty in the little things of life
I'm against consumerism. I think the world can do better
I like art, writing and taking pictures
I believe in natural, personal, simple things
I like sandwiches
I dream big

PHILOSOPHY

My complex life philosophy can be summed up in two quotes:

"Life is too important to be taken seriously" - Oscar Wilde

and

"Sometimes things happen" -€œ Yamini Kashimshetty

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

"When I was done traveling I returned convinced of one thing: we're nothing.“ Savage Detectives

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing is amazing! I started using it in 2007 when I traveled around Latin America for a few months... Its the best way to really experience a place. Each time I couchsurf or meet other CSers I re-gain some faith in humanity.
