I'm a cheerful, committed and open-minded person. I really like to socialise, get to know people, discover new cultures, places and food. I am passionate about what I like, especially my homeland Puglia and its delicious food :), and I hold dear friendships.

I love travelling and, after living in Vietnam for 3 years, I decided to quit my job and embark on a six-month journey through Latin America to discover this huge continent. I look forward to meeting you! :)

Soy una persona alegre, comprometida y de mente abierta. Me gusta mucho socializar, conocer gente, descubrir nuevas culturas, lugares y comida. Me apasiona lo que me gusta, especialmente mi patria Puglia y su deliciosa comida :), y quiero mucho a las amistades.

Me encanta viajar y, después de vivir en Vietnam durante 3 años, decidí renunciar a mi trabajo y emprender un viaje de seis meses por Latinoamérica para descubrir este enorme continente. ¡Espero conocerte pronto! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to share unique moments with friendly people and to discover new places, food and cultures in the most authentic way, through the eyes of locals.

Interests

I have been volunteering in different contexts, such as helping the homeless and assisting the sick, as a human right activist with Amnesty International, and as an educator to a group of teenagers in a boy scout group.

I'm pretty fresh to scuba diving but I love it!

I'm terrible at but I love dancing especially salsa, though I often miss the rhythm and sometimes am unwillingly "innovative" with steps. :D

Eating the viper in Cameroon, and scorpions, cobra, bees, ants and larvas in Vietnam.

Good genuine laughters and/or some deep conversations.
