CURRENT MISSION

I am NOT interested in dating. I do Couchsurfing because I believe in its main idea - Meeting new people while travelling like a local, not a tourist. I consider myself a traveller and enjoy to know how the local people live in the places I visit. I write this because unfortunately I got quite many confusing questions which are not acceptable for me. I am looking for new FRIENDS, not something else or more.

ABOUT ME

I am easygoing, cheerful, friendly, funny and calm.

Ciao a tutti!
Vado in Italia da sola per due mese de novembre a gennaio. Per il mio viaggio imparo italiano da tre mesi e mi piacerebbe incontrare la gente del posto. :)
Mi piace molto l'arte, la pittura, l'architettura, la natura, gli animali, camminare, il cibo, il caffè, il sole, etc. Posso insegnare inglese, russo, spagnolo e parlare francese. Sono una tutore d'inglese e spagnole da skype ma voglio cambiare lavoro. Vado in Italia per inspirazione e per ammirare il paese e la sua gente.

PHILOSOPHY
