CURRENT MISSION

Develop Consciousness

ABOUT ME

I come from Lecce and I live in Turin from 7 years. I feel strongly my origins and I love my birth city, I love sea and nature, I love spending much time in open spaces with friends. I like living in the city, going to the cinema and theatre, visiting museums, but I need to spend much time in contact with mountains and nature, in quiet and silent places.

PHILOSOPHY

"Our true home is the present moment. Living in the present moment is a miracle. Miracle is not to walk on water. Miracle is to walk on our green planet in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that we have right now. Peace is all around us in the world and in nature, and within us, in our bodies and in our souls". Thich Nhat Hanh

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted three times people coming from Italy and a boy from Turkey and it was a great experience, positive and elevate from a personal point of view.
I was hosted in Florence from Michele, and we had an exchange: we went to theatre together and it has been interesting to share one of my passion with him, who was hosting me.

Interests

Art and every creative expression that can elevate human beings: performance art, drama, dance, music,cinema, photography. I'm interested also in meditation techniques (I'm part of a little Sangha of Thich Nhath Hanh tradition in Turin), biological agriculture and architecture, alternative medicine and techniques for body and mind well-being.
