About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I don't really have a mission and I am not in search for it, either. Maybe, one day it will come to me.

ABOUT ME

I graduated in Finance and Banking in March 2016. Then, instead of applying for a job, I decided to take some time off and explore new opportunities. Was it a right choice? I don't know, we'll see.
So I travelled for five months around Italy until three months ago. Mostly, I worked as a wwoofer. I am pretty sure you are familiar with that, but if you don't, check out their website (WWOOF). It was such a great experience that made me meet lots of interesting people, while getting to know myself better in unfamiliar settings. Then I headed to France for a couple of weeks and I worked on a vineyard near Lion. But that's the end of my journey for now, as I got back home and I have lived here ever since for a number of reasons.

I am easygoing and talkative and I adapt pretty well to unusual living standards. I enjoy having nice and deep conversations while finding humor in all aspects of life. I have tried different meditation techniques. I like dancing. I am curious and eager to learn and and I like to explore things that are off the beaten path.

_____Update
After working for a digital start-up back home I got back on the road again. First, I travelled around France, working on a few farms, then I moved to Thailand for a few months and now I am travelling around Vietnam.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be sorry for something you couldn't do, regret just what you could have done but you didn't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a cool way to meet new people while travelling on a budget. I joined the CS community long ago but I have never used it. It is now time to do it!

Interests

I have always enjoyed having conversations about pretty much anything. In fact, no matter if we talk about movies, how the brain and society work, economics, permaculture, sustainable living (and so on), there is always something interesting you can learn. When I am not prepared on a topic, I enjoy listening to other people's thoughts and maybe contributing with something I have learnt or observed from my life experience. Usually, I don't forget to crack a joke here and there!
