About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I am a CS ambassador and I am proud of it.
I am an experienced HOUSE-PET-SITTER , I really love it !!
I want to visit many Countries in the world, but I don't want only be a tourist, I want to live as an inhabitant of the place I were, eat the same food,have the same lifestyle. I enjoy to share the Italian way of life too. Have guests, teach and learn from them "

I am a COOKsurfer !!! Lend me your kitchen and I cook for you some Italian recipes. When you are in my home you cook for me your specialities, or what you can or want cook. Share food and recipes sometimes is the best way to know people and Country way of life and philosophy
I really enjoy staying in a real neighborhood and being a traveler, not a tourist.

PHILOSOPHY

" We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. Try to be at peace with yourself. To others, with love and compassion. If you contribute to other people's happiness,you will find the true goal,the true meaning of life."
-the 14th H.H Dalai Lama.

Se non conosciamo noi stessi, è inutile conoscere il mondo
If we do not know ourselves, knowing the world is useless

La Terra non ci è stata data in eredità dai nostri Padri, ma in prestito dai nostri figli.
The earth was not given as an inheritance from our fathers, but borrowed from our children

Comincia a vivere subito e considera ogni giorno come un giorno a sè ( Seneca)
Begins to live once, and treats each day as a day to himself (Seneca)

La vita non conosce indugi, quando il piacere si presenta è meglio coglierlo.
Ogni ora che passa ci toglie parte delle cose che ci dilettano e forse anche parte della nostra disposizione a dilettarcene
Life knows no delay, when the pleasure occurs is better to catch it. Every hour that passes takes away some of the things that delight us and perhaps also part of our disposition to delight

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." Leo Tolstoy

"Be the change you want to see in the world." Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

being a verified member. Hosting all the people I can.
Talking about C S philosophy with many people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very very positive in more than 50 Countries.

I am a flower child at heart, and the more time I spent on couchsurfing.org, the more tempting being a surfer became. Since I get lonely when I travel, the idea of being welcomed into a local's home and helped to navigate a city, particularly a foreign culture, is especially appealing. Plus, there is something wonderful and heart warming about the sharing economy, whether it is sharing a couch or a car. Woodstock Nation lives on!
