CURRENT MISSION

Being happy and become enlightened

ABOUT ME

I am very social, I love meeting new friends and sharing feeling, thoughts and ideas with them. I love travelling, trekking, holistic medicine, shiatsu, moxibustion.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we are born to learn who we are, discovering oneself by yourself and through other people. Meeting people, networking and sharing ideas and philosophy is the only.
It's essential for me to be sincere to myself (not always easy......) and to dare, dare to live and love, even if and even when it's not reciprocated. It's essential to feel, feel bad or feel good, but to be in touch with my emotions, my fears and my dreams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host people who I think might be interested in knowing who I am and who I think I might open my heart and friendship and viceversa. I have to say that till now I had excellent experience and people in CS do tend to be sincere and open and not hide behind masks and filters.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of mine is a CS member of Couch Surfing and she introduced me to this new share philosophy of life. I love meeting new people and I am extremely satisfied with CS!

Interests

I am very social, I love meeting new friends. I love travelling, trekking, skiing (I am a beginner goofy-footed snowboarder!).

I am very into alternative medicine, shiatsu, moxibustion. I am not obsessed with it my I have a very curious and open approach to new theories and findings.

I adooooooooore JAPANESE FOOD, especially sashimi (my favourite food is UNI, which are sea urchins), therefore if someone wants to conquer my heart, it's easy......

My favourite cities are NYC (where I lived for 4 ys), Edinburgh (lived for 1 yr) and Paris. In italy my fave is Rome, truly surprising, truly exceptional and unique, beautiful, fun and special. There's always something to discover and one cannot avoid falling in love with Rome...

"OMNIA MUNDA MUNDIS; coinquinatis autem et infidelibus nihil mundum, sed inquinatae sunt eorum et mens et conscientia"

"To the pure all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled") - Epistle of Paul to Titus, I:15

« Tutto è puro per i puri; ma niente è puro per i contaminati e gl'increduli, perché hanno contaminata l'intelligenza e la coscienza »

Tu, viandante dell’universo
Che attraversi la vita come una meteora,
non rendere vana la tua caduta nel vuoto
non giungere nulla nel nulla
ma dai un senso alla tua effimera presenza
in questa effimera realtà
coltivando la più sublime delle realizzazioni
e la meta più alta della Coscienza
che rende grande la Materia:
l’amore attraverso il non attaccamento.
Un buddha è dentro di te:
fallo crescere fino a divenire
un’altra incarnazione.
Nell’eterno fluire dal nulla al nulla
Fa’ che fra un nulla e l’altro
La Coscienza e l’Amore
prendano il loro posto nell’evoluzione
di questo universo

(excerpted by Giulio Cesare Giacobbe's book)
