About Me

As you may expect, I like people.
Since I was just a little thing, my parents brought my curly fair hair brother and me discovering Europe through the window of an old little caravan. Every year, we spent a month or two just roaming around hills and mountains, getting surprised by incredible European cities and building impenetrable sandcastles on countless seashores.
Nowadays, I am still trying to shape a sandcastle able to stop all the waves of the sea.

In 2015, I started a new chapter of my life moving to the UK with Marco.
Since autumn 2017 ... Ethiopia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Lots of people came to my house(s) or hosted me, always bringing fresh air and unexpected perspectives into my life.
It is people who make places. That's why nothing is better than having guests and, of course, seeing a place through the eyes and the experiences of someone who lives there.
Each meeting is a new travel.

Interests

Anthropology (be careful, I am quite obsessed), hammocks, (Ethiopian) coffee, graphic novels, pets, sports with friends, upcycling. The dream of my life is to ride a bicycle standing with a foot on the seat. I love challenges in geography, even if I am quite bad at it. I really like second-hand stuff. And rugby, of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

When I need to think, I listen to Einaudi, Herbie Hancock, Jack Johnson and Djavan.
When I need energies, my favourites at this very moment are AgainstMe, Janis Joplin and Mbongwana Star.
In general, I like jazz/blues, Latin American vibes, punk-rock.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to teach me Amharic, the basic knowledge of photoshop or how to use in a decent way a reflex, you are all welcome!

If you are interested in learning Italian or to ice skate, I can help with pleasure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For the moment, a couple of beers (or coffees), chatting, a tour of the city, ... I am open to suggestions.

Work in progress for having a place with a couch to host you.
