The second of 7 siblings, born "on-the-road" in a hippie community, spent my early years travelling and street-singing all over Europe.

When my Swiss dad decided to follow in the steps of his parents and brother as an actor in Germany, us "free-spirited" kids got to move to the countryside not far from Florence in "sunny Tuscany", where we too set up our own little "Schauspieltruppe" with friends.

After high school I kick-started my "hospitality career" working as a waitress in one of the first Karaoke pubs in all Italy, covered various positions from kitchen to management in local restaurants, hotel receptions and on to Customer Satisfaction and inbound call-centre manager in one of Italys' most renown organic farms.

I've also acquired a 20yr experience in the most diverse personal professional development workshops and seminars and now, quite like The Hobbit am going on a new adventure :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Got lots of travelling to do throughout Europe this year both for professional and volunteer-work purposes. I am also keen on meeting new people and making new friends and find that better achieved in a personal setting as opposed to formal ones don't you think?

Music, Movies, and Books

The Bible; all 7 Chronichles of Narnia ; The Lord Of The Rings and Co.; The Color Purple; Music: from classical to heavy metal a bit of everything; I love Tony Robbins but my Guru is JP Sears.... and so much more, if I write it all we won't have anything to talk about ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came out of 7+yrs of seriously vicious workplace bullying completely sound of mind! And more determined than ever to do my part to stop this type of "crime against humanity"...

Teach, Learn, Share

...so I now volunteer since 3 yrs already alongside other professionals providing results-oriented alternatives to traditional psychotherapy, providing those asking for help for similar situations both private and professional personalised tools to take charge of the situation, rise above and start thriving again!

I'm constantly putting like-minded people in contact for whatever reason. Sometimes it results in a professional collaboration, others a great vacation together, the ideas can start coming as soon as we start talking ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations in English, Italian and German.
Very practical no-fuss tips and guidelines for healthy eating and healing the body through wholesome foods.
A subconscious programming or coaching session.

If in Tuscany act as free tour guide to places others do not know ...or to see the leaning tower of Pisa, or Siena, Grosseto and of course Florence - ah yes! bring you to have a great wine tasting on that organic farm ;-)

For anyone considering surfing on my couch I'd best inform you ahead of time in case you're allergic to anything: I have a red cat, two gold fish and am a night owl myself!
