About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stress less and try to appreciate little things

ABOUT ME

In two words: Italian Ballaholic and espresso addict! Curious and interested in meeting people from different countries and different backgrounds

PHILOSOPHY

I am not a believer. I don't want to feel constrained by the belonging to a group or a religion - I am always interested in listening to others' opinions as each individual is unique and fascinating. Others' thoughts contribute to the shaping of my own philosophy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting local people, staying at locals' and hosting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Portugal, France, England, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Macedonia, Slovenia, Spain and Hungary. All experiences have been very positive and have certainly confirmed the great concept of CouchSurfing

Interests

I am quite an active person, I love sports (not much watching, prefer taking part!) and I am always up for some basketball and running. I also like swimming, cycling, and playing football. I am definitely an outdoor person, I enjoy spending time exploring places and being in the wild nature (when possible!) - I don't mind just relaxing indoor and watching movies. I love travelling, being surrounded by people from different cultures and backgrounds, and certainly food plays a big role in my life ;-)
