ABOUT ME

I am 27, nice, quite, curious person who is trying to find her own way.
I am having a hard time on finding out what is my place in this world, so in the meanwhile I try to see as much as possibile of it!

I have studied foreign languages, political sciences and history.
This is my passion and my motivation in life: I want to understand as many perspectives as possibile, and create communication between people from different worlds.
To achieve this, I travel a lot and live in different countries. I move a lot from one place to the other, so if do not always follow up in CS please dont be mad! It's a very intense life...

I believe in voluntary work and in helping others; I have always engaged in voluntary work since I was very young, in Italy and abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

tolerance and kindness; I do not have to understand fully people who are different than me to see the beauty in them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had few very nice and friendly couch surfing experiences, which I could easely define as adventures. Very often meeting my hosts became the most interesting part of the whole trip. And I keep being surprised when I discover how many people are willingly to host and to meet strangers for the most different reasons...thant's amazing. I hope to get more of that!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had few very nice CS-experience and I hope to get more..

Interests

I can sing and play ukulele, I love music, especially classic music, folk music, such as Irish music, Balkan music, Kletzmer...
I like reading, writing, having endless discussions with my friends about philosophical problems we could never solve. I love poetry.
The last three years of my life I have spent between Russia and Poland,Germany and France, trying to learn more about different societies and histories.
This is my main focus and interest at the time: if you have something to tell about it, you will find a very attentive listener in me!
