About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have Fun and make things that make me Happy!!

ABOUT ME

Who am I? Definitly a miscellaneous of energy, optmism, colours, nonconformity and good vibrations...
I like to say about myself that I'm a crazy hippie and a traveller!!I love life and enjoing all its pleasures, for exemple cooking for my friends..and, of course, then eat all together with a good glass of wine(or beer, if you prefer^.^)!I adore travelling and, when I can't, I do it with the fantasy reading some books!I am also interested in whatever has to do with art.
When I want to relax I take my board and I go on the top of the mountains,snowboard is my passion. I grew up in a litle village in the Southern Alps I like every kind of animal and nature in general.
Of course I'm a party girl, I like dancing,meet new people,know new cultures,new languages and...go to the bed after having had breakfast at sunrise! In other words: I'd like to know as much as possible of that strange thing called: LIFE!!
Ah,one very important thing about me:With exception of serious stuffs like work, appointment etc...I don't like to make long plans, i love improvisation and let me surprise from life!

PHILOSOPHY

Party is a basic human right!!

Let the world change you! (but only in a positive way)

Time is one of the only things that nobody can give you back, don´t waste it!!

"The most dangerous thing to do is stand still"
-W. Burroughs-

We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon - Konrad Adenauer

"When you live in the same place for a long time, you become blind because you are not able to observe any more. I travel for not becoming blind" -Joseph Koudelka-

“Man's real home is not a house, but the Road, and that life itself is a journey to be walked on foot.
Bruce Chatwin

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page" Saint Augustine"

I don't travel to escape life, but for life not to escape me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couchsurfing a lot of years ago, but I joined this magic world only in 2009 while I was Erasmus in Dresden (Germany)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´m happy to help people that love travel like me.

My CS experiences are definitly all positive! If you also include all the people (know and unknown) to whome i slept and that don't take part to CS...well, i can say i'm pretty good trained! I can and I've slept almost everywhere!!

When i give hospitality I like to show my city to the guests if i´ve time and, of course,if they want my company.
When I ask for a couch I appreciate if people spend time with me, if they can´t, it´s definitly NOT a problem, I enjoy discover the city with my camera and just walk around observing people and the city life.

Interests

I think my first goal is to have fun in any thing i do
