ABOUT ME

I love travelling and to know the world's natural beauties and different people. I was born in Rome but I prefer to be describe an "European" and a citizen of our Earth. I love contact with people and I like to have a relationship on equal terms with others. I am a "liberal" and I like nonconformist people and those who talk and discuss outside ideologies and fundamentalism.

PHILOSOPHY

Travelling around the world to know the earth's beauties and new people !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Geography, astronomy, history, flowers and botany, the cats, all the arts and particularly architecture and classical music; the wind's voice and snow's light, the sea's taste on my skin and mountains' silence, the bells through the leaves and the lanes into the country; to go to sleep on a meadow counting the stars and the warmth of a chimney in winter time. The great cinema and old steam trains, film cameras and Apple computers, the railway models and high fidelity stereos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An unforgettable trip in China in July-August 2005 with 3 friends !
I discovered some incredible places in Inner Mongolia and Manchuria: particularly I visited some enormous coal open mines and stone quarries where you can see the last operating steam locos in the world.
I have even gone in the most gigantic steelworks I have ever seen: titanic buildings similar to spacial cities where air and water pollution's level is absolutely out of our imagination ! It was a really very strong experience !
