Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Sharing a place to stay and swapping some life experiences just looks a good idea. Safety, privacy and some moment of personal intimacy are essentials so I would prefer to host one person per time which is fluent in either Italian, English or French. (It's just a preference, don't worry to ask if you need a place)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hiking in Apuan Alps and Madeira. Moving to Tuscany for the University when I was 18. Getting my tough master's degree of which I don't care that much at the end of the day. Moving abroad when I was thirty. Working as volunteer in a Collective Cafe' project in Bruxells city center. http://boomcafeassociatif.org/boom-cafe/.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can manage to speak some French but I'm soon going to attend new classes as I want to improve it.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can guide you through Brussels city when possible. I have a sofa bed in the kitchen / living that you can use if after meeting I feel like also hosting you and you need it. You can use the kitchen-living (one piece), toilette, bathroom, fridge, tv, books and internet connection... Everything as long as you leave things more or less as clean as you found them and in a compatible way with my working life.
