About Me

I am a curious person and I Iike to breath different airs. I love reading poems with a cup of tea in a rainy day, but no one can hold me inside if the sun is shining. I am very dynamic and hyperactive, but I am learning how to be slow and enjoying the present moment :)
I just finished a working experience with refugees and asylum seekers in Mantova (Northern Italy) and I am going to start a Master Degree in Migration Studies in Copenaghen. I am very sensitive about other cultures and how they are represented.
I am an animal and nature lover, and, even if I love the cities' noise, my habitat is surrounding by green leaves and fresh water.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to feel the place where I am at 100% and be part of the day to day life in another country is what make a journey special to me. Couchsurfing is all about meeting locals and feel one of them, giving everyone the opportunity to be a traveler and not just a tourist: whether you have 2 days or 2 months you'll feel a citizen thanks to your host. Since I tried Couchsurfing the first time I immediately realise how valuable it is and I never go back!

Interests

Right now I'm moving my first steps (literally) into the slow travels world! I love being in the nature, feel the environment around me, its smells and sounds and colours...but I'm not so sporty :) so I found walking the perfect match for me. The pleasure to see how the landscape changes step by step is priceless. With my backpack on my shoulders I feel safe and happy: just take the road and go!!

Music, Movies, and Books

According with the idea of leaving the best at the end I start with the thing I'm most low on: movies!I really need someone who can give me a list of the movies everyone should see before dying! (By the way I'm a Star Wars fan). What about books...to be 100% honest I love more books than reading: take me to a second-hand bookshop and I can stay hours flipping through the yellowed pages. So I never travel without a book as a friend and I discovered poems to be the best travel mates! I "steal" music from everyone I meet on the way, it's such a cool way to know different genres and to remember who you met on the way! Then be ready!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A van road trip around Australia
Sunset in Venice and sunrise in Istanbul
Several crash with my longboard
Snorkelling with Wale Sharks (they are vegetarian ;)
Taking care of 10 horses in the Australian rain forest for one month

But of course the best has to come!
