CURRENT MISSION

Beauty, truth and good, wherever I could find them

ABOUT ME

Maybe is quiker to check my references. Apparently people think I'm open minded, curious, original, dreamer, peaceful, creative, honest and spontaneous. When I travel I am so open and enthusiastich that I like almost every kind of place, person, food and experience. I like cooking and eating. I like the simpliest thing in life, like nature and food, as the most complex and challenging, like literature, cinema, art and philosophy.

PHILOSOPHY

Pessimism of the reason, optimism of the will. Pessimismo della ragione, ottimismo della volontà .
These are not my words, unfortunately, these are Gramsci's words.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I try to partecipate to the life of the CS community in Torino, I used to do the same in Florence and in Rio de Janeiro. When I host and when someone host me I try to bring the spirit of CS with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some people surfed on my couch in Florence even before I knew of the existence of CS. Then with CS I surfed lots of couch, hosted people and met lots of interesting people.

Interesses

Writing, literature, cooking, art, parties, philosophy, travelling, swimming, adventures, walking, discovering new things, change the world. I travelled from June 2006 to June 2007 in Central and South America.
My cooking is influenced from Naples (my mother), Florence (where I lived until 28) and Turin (where I'm living now), so I think I have some influence of all kinds of Italian food, north, center and south.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

When I was just arrived in Mexico I saw a little tornado that lasted one minute, it picked up some objects from the market and made them fly: a yellow hat, some clothes, somethig red and a big blue umbrella that in a moment reached the sky over the cathedral.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I think I can teach Italian quite well. I'd like to improve my Spanish and Portuguese. I know something about cooking (Italian cooking), philosophy, literature and art and I like to know more about all of that.
