CURRENT MISSION

Finding interior peace by cultivating the people and interests that make me feel good!

ABOUT ME

My best friends would probably say that I'm fun and crazy (in a funny way), caring and affectioned, and that I am able to talk about anything, and to be very serious or very funny in appropriate circumstances!

PHILOSOPHY

"Who talks badly, thinks badly" (personal translation from Nanni Moretti)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet people from any culture...share ideas, emotions, experiences...I have surfed and hosted little but all my friends made in a year spent in Orebro are from the CS community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had only a couple of hosting experiences, but I made so many couchsurfing friends both in Amsterdam and Orebro!

Interests

I'm a psychologist and sleep researcher, and I love what I study and what I do (I'm also studying to become a psychotherapist). Friendship is one of the most important things in my life: in fact, I really spend lots of time with my friends. I love board games (and games in general) very much, in fact I often spend evenings playing with my friends. I enjoy good cooking (of any country) and I often go seeking for new little restaurants both in my country and during my trips abroad. I have traveled quite a lot, and I really love traveling, though I feel it is not strictly necessary if one succeeds in enjoying one's life in his own country and surrounded by the people one loves.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an expert on a quite specific topic: that is the realtionships between sleep and memory (since that's what I've been working on in these last years)... Also, I have learned much on emotions and psychology, both from my academic studies and from personal experience. If you would like to know anything about these issues, I will be happy to share!
