About Me

I'm currently living in Plum Village, a Buddhist monastery in the South of France, founded by the Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. I'm interested in spirituality, Buddhism practices, meditation and community living. I love to travel and to discover new cultures and traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine suggested me to try Couchsurfing. I would like to know local people whenever I travel, so that I can be more in touch with the local culture. I also love the idea of sharing with others, either material resources, time or experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my job and everything else to live in a Buddhist monastery :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences in my life so far, how is to live in a spiritual community like Plum Village and what are my dreams and my difficulties. I can also share about Italy and maybe teach a bit of Italian :).
I would like to learn everything about the local culture, especially about spiritual practices, that is what I'm most interested at this moment.. I also would like to try any kind of typical (vegetarian) food! :D
