CURRENT MISSION

Trying every day to give the best of me.

ABOUT ME

I love life and I'm aware of how lucky I am; I wish each person ( each living being ) could feel the same joy.

PHILOSOPHY

To respect others, humans or not. To treat them with care and love.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

BEFORE
I will ask for a place to stay.
If I can I would be happy to host someone, but I have to tell you that I live in my flat with three nice cats.

AFTER
This was before any couchsurfing experience, now I have...I have hosted, being hosted...people who stayed at my place made me felt as if I was travelling myself and people who hosted me made me felt home!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

BEFORE
Told by friends.
And even if I don't have a profile yet, someone has already asked me if I could host him. I like that that: it's a way of getting started.
I hope that each one who will stay at my place would take home a nice souvenir of the experience.

AFTER
I think that what I hoped is what happened...

Интересы

The accordion: during last summer I realized I wanted to start learning to play this instrument. I love music and I felt the need to "make" music.
Buddhism: I am a member of a Sangha. There I can train myself to remember the essential things in this life, moreover meeting and sharing experiences with others is always a great opportunity.
Walking (I love this word, one of the reasons is that it reminds me of Thoreau): my father tought me the love for nature, for the mountains.
I also like taking photos: sometimes I still use my mother's camera. With those old cameras one has to take some time for a photo, it's a moment I really like...start looking in the machine, find the right light, the right moment.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

BEFORE
Walking along Saint Francis path in Umbria all by myself.
This was an amazing experience: I loved all of it! The view, the sound, the animals encountered ( only animals, no human being on the path ), the people I spent some time with when every day I arrived in the welcoming villages of Umbria.

AFTER
Travelling in the USA by myself...that was possible thanks to my couchsurfers hosts...thank you all of you!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm not able to teach to play the accordion yet, I could teach to cook some pastas with vegetables ( I've been vegetarian for almost 20 years, vegan now ).
I will be more than happy to speak a little bit of English, I'm not to bad at that, but I'd love to practice.
