CURRENT MISSION

Travelling as much as my bank account can afford

ABOUT ME

Hi!
I'm a funny person or better that's what people make me believe.
I like travelling, meeting and conversing with new open minded people.
I'm a very curious person.
I travel alone or with friends, it depends. I enjoy both.

PHILOSOPHY

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh...

On the Road- Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to learn new languages and to discover new cultures.
I don't want to stop, I want to explore.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I used Couchsurfing in Isola del Giglio (Tuscany), I was travelling with my friend around this beautiful region.
Later, in 2018, during my first solo travel I used Couchsurfing in Denmark, amazing experience!

Interests

I was born in Albania, I grew up in Italy, where I spent 16 years of my life, and I have recently moved to Bristol.
I speak albanian, a fluent italian of course, a little french and I'm learning english. I do speak a bit of everything but almost nothing.

I moved to Oxfordshire where I spent almost 9 months and later on I quit my job and I chose to move to Bristol.
I'm here to improve my english and to know as mush as I can about british culture.
I love reading and photography.
I love sports in general, for example in my free time I swimming or jogging.

I live in a share-house with other four housemates and I can't host people, unfortunately.

Last summer, in 2018, I travelled alone around Europe by train. Best experience ever, which helped me to enjoy my own company and to know a lot of people.

I'm a bit pessimist but I'm working on it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie & instrumental music: Explosion in the Sky, Sigur Ros, Mumford and Sons, Devendra Banhart and so on, but basically everything that make me shake my hips.
I’ve been reading since I was 10 years old.
Books: On the Road, The Dharma Bums, Desolation Angels, Blindness (Saramago), 1948 (Orwell), Knulp (Hermann Hesse) and female writer like Anais Nin, Simone Beauvoir and Oriana Fallaci.
I love russian writer like Fëdor Dostoevskij and Lev Tolstoj.

If you have any suggestions or you want to talk about books in general, here I am! I would appreciate it
