Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment i can host one person, two when some of my housemates are not home (we are 6 people...)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted 2 nice french guys, a wonderful boy from Prague and another italian one; i've also been hosted by a german girl, Silke. All these experiences were wonderful, i loved meeting different people, sharing many things and confronting many others; last but not least i could re-descover the many beauties of my city by showing csurfers around!

Interests

Meeting different people, travelling, talking about philosophy (which doesn't necessarly mean talking about Nietzsche or Kant but about one's personal beliefes and experiences), reading, cooking, dancing (will try to learn flamenco this year!), listening to music (live is better), painting, drawing, gardening,listening to or inventing stories and fairytales, and who knows what else...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer i was travelling in the Netherlands; one day i went, for chance, to the zoo in Amsterdam: actually i don't like zoos, it makes me so sad and angry to see all those animals in cages. Anyway there was one thing that i really enjoyed: the Butterfly Paradise, where i saw a lot of incredibly beautiful butterflies, with such amazing coloured wings!! but the most incredible one was the Glasswing Butterfly (check the picture i uploaded), that is transparent!! you can only see the borders of the wings and while it's flying you don't know if you are havinhg allucinations or what! this insect only lives in the Amazon Forest, so to me it was already amazing to see it once in life...But then, just a few days ago, as i was walking in Bologna, where i live, i couldn't believe my eyes: there was a glasswing butterfly flying all over me!! i have never ever seen this butterfly in italy in my whole life, cos it just doesn't live here! it is so unlikely to be here! amazing, ain't it? well, maybe it's just a little thing, a strange coincidence, but i love these kind of things: when happen, they enlighten my day!
