Overview
About Me
Im a strange person, but strange good, you know what I mean? I am creative and I am the kind of person who would always want to do A LOT of stuff and struggles because in the end we only have two arms, two legs and one life, I need to remind that to myself sometimes ... oops!
I am a fan of getting lost in order to discover places AND people. I am passionate about design, of course, that's what I do, interaction design in particular (for those who get it). I have lots of other passions too: real life pen drawing, music as a life-style, cinema more than movies themselves (because the whole experience is just magical), swimming and water in general. I love living by night and photograohy, my latest discovery. It took a while but I made a point with myself of always going around with my Pentax and catch little precious things, not 10.000 photos that are only going to seat in a hard disk forever, just the true moments, when you open your eyes and go: "I NEED to hold on to that".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I signed up on Couchsurfing because I think its a great opportunity of sharing what we have, and a perfect way to get to know awesome people from all over the world. I am eager to get to practice some languages and maybe learn some new ones, and get in touch with cultures I know nothing about.
I think it is a sustainable a beautiful way to not only get to see new places but do it in a way that is going to bring something to the myself and whoever I may encounter, seems way more sustainable than any five star hotel.
A wise man once told me: the sky is a thousand star hotel, and it is for free.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spent a year in Germany, alone, at 16 yo - studied biology in German ... guys I could not believe it myself
Also studied Spanish in a German class ... veeery confusing
Teach, Learn, Share
Id love to teach a little bit of every language I know, and how to make crepes, because its always lovely to have a crepe. Im also available to teach anyone in need how to be late on time, a rather unusual skill, I know.
Id love to learn about new cultures and weird goofy habits of people all around the world, and the pronounciation of the languages too. Id also love not to hit the snooze button every morning, if anyone could teach me that, it would be great.
Im willing to share jokes, stories, advices, food and of course a couch when available.
What I Can Share with Hosts
To couch-owners I can offer cooking abilities (I make a great apple risotto), graphic design advices, great language skills and a snore-free sleep! Plus a very open and hospitable italian personality!
