About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'll show you how I am
and I'll be how I can
throwing myself against the world,
walking around every corner
and by the natural law of encounters
I leave and receive a bit

ABOUT ME

I think I am positive and trustworthy human being. I'm 29, I lived in a lot of European and non-European countries while studying, volunteering or working. I enjoy exploring as much as I can and connect with new people from over the world. I'm in love with life!

PHILOSOPHY

"You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny"

Brihadaranyka Upanishad

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like Bablylon offers, I hate hostels and conventional travelers...I prefer to cook or exchange something instead than pay for a bed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Escaped from Spain at 18 years old with a brazilian "family" and partecipated to an worderful music festival in a Moroccan beach, visited the city of la Paz and the Titicaca Lake, swam in some stunning tropical beaches with coloured fishes in Thailand, saw tracks of dinosaurs in Bolivia, climb every kind of rock with my flip-flops around the world, learned a little bit of Thai language, spent time with indigenous communities in the north of Argentina, travel Australia in a gipsy mood.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you many different languages, a vast collection of basic yoga poses and asanas, some tips about Thai and Italian cookery, how to prepare and drink a South American traditional "mate" and "the art of getting by" as Italians say. I'm interested in knowing everything is about alternative education and lifestyle, naturopathy, vegetarian recipes, herbal medicines, handmade natural soaps, water sports, handicraft, dances, rituals, martian arts, places worth to visit, cultures. I can share my free spirit and a hint of sarcasm.
