CURRENT MISSION

I aim at helping the communication between people thanks to my knowledge of languages :)

ABOUT ME

Here's a little brainstorming about me:
languages, dancing, hiking, mountains, cats, tea, interpreting/translation, friends, cooking, sunshine, early mornings, green, camping, wine, puns, hugs.

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness is real only when shared"

"Dance first, think later"

"Where there is tea, there is hope"

"If there's a solution, then why are you so desperate? And if there's no solution, then why are you so desperate?"

"Life is too short to drink bad wine"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Feeling part of the place you are visiting is sensational! CS makes you forget that you are a tourist :)

I grasp any opportunity to surf, but I host much less than I wish to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The healing power of dance. Seeing everybody (I mean everybody) smiling peacefully while dancing at French folk festivals struck me. Dance first, think later :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the languages I speak, the basics of Italian and French folk dances and the secrets of the Piemontese cuisine :)

I want to learn Swedish language, recipes from your country/region, to play the double bass...and anything funny and enriching you can offer!
