Hi, I’m new here!

I love the sun, the wind and the storms but I don’t like the cold. I'm afraid of spiders but I can feed a wasp or a bee on my hand.

Vegetarian and avid tea drinker. I like fruit, honey, almonds, dark chocolate and nuts. Cures and natural remedies, no antibiotics, only vitamin C and rest.

I hate social inequalities and cruelty. The world often hurts me.
I’m generous, if you have a problem I willingly listen to you and if I can I help you.
I like writing, or rather I write as a survival strategy.

I like walks in the nature, climbing trees, mountain and sea, walls covered with ivy and glicine.

Different schools and now I'm psychologist, naturopath, masseur shiatsu and technician art therapy.
In Italy I volunteered with addicted, psychiatric patients and in emergency as a rescuer.

I'm fascinated by symbols, myths, tales, philosophy and poetry. I like the smell of old books. I like to observe similarities, recurrences, synchronicities.
Very good labyrinths designer, but then I am not able to solve them.
Chess player (or rather, I try to play chess).

Bureaucracy stress me out and makes me feel a number, like mass consumption.

Environmental sustainability, intentional communities and great respect for animals and for life.
I have six cats.

I like alternative and revolutionary views, I love a honest intellectual confrontation.

Political disoriented, bourgeois respectability bothers me, I turned off television 14 years ago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling, meet people, save money.
