About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is exchange of cultures around the world. I choosed London as home because you can find the world in this great city.

ABOUT ME

I come from Sardegna and my background and culture is deeply sardinian. In fact I speak fluently my third language which is Sardinian! I am very close to all my traditions, to the lifestyle in a town by the sea and beaches, the nature, the food and a life made by extremely simple and genuine things.
I moved to London because I wanted live in a multiracial and multicultural city. I have got friends all over the world and it is absolutely beautiful! When I travel for laisure I try to avoid hotels and resorts and stay in non touristic places and discover the real culture with the eyes of the people who live there. My last travel was last December, 6 weeks in Brazil where I fell in love with the Country, the Brazilian culture, the Brazilian music, the Brazilian food, but more with the Brazilian people!!! I think brazilian are the most amazing people in the world! During my travel I made many Brazilian friends (I think I made more friends there in 6 weeks than in London in 8 years!). I love them and I talk to them every day! I am sure I will move to this amazing country very soon and in the mainwhile I am working hard to learn Portuguese, Capoeira and Forrò! Oh yes!!! Maybe I have some brazilian origins... my mum was adopted so it could be possible! ahah!

PHILOSOPHY

Exchange cultures, knowledges, hobbies, keeping network of friends alive...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to partecipate as host more than what I am doing but unfortunately my place in London doesn't help. If it happend that I am in Sardegna, usually in summer, I am able to host much more. I love to attend CS meetings and events during my trips. Locals always make me see the real life and that is what I am looking for.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love the idea and philosophy behind CS, it is a great world. I met so many amazing and lovely people.

Interests

My big interests are music and travelling. I love gigs and live music, especial indipendent bands. I am very ecletic in the taste, from rock to classical, blues and bossa nova but indie rock is my big passion. Another passion is travelling. I travel very often for work and I try to make different trips for pleasure too. An yes, I am italian so another big passion is cooking :)))
