Overview
About Me
Describing our own personality is always hard... but I'll make a try.
If there is one thing I believe in, is the power of Smiling.
I think smiling can change your life.
I discovered the beneficial effects of smiling when I was in Switzerland, working 15 hours a day, often feeling exahusted and frustrated.
Every time I felt hopeless, I smiled with all my cheeks and I immediately gained more energy and lightness!
I am eager to learn. Everything. I love listening to people's stories and reading.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people from all over the world. It would be amazing to meet a local in every place I visit! In my travels I noticed that discovering a city with a local is far more interesting than doing it on my own.
Couchsurfing allows us to share knowledge and experience, it can make our souls rich!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My friends and I drove to Turin in an old Volkswagen. That car was a piece of history, beautifully conserved. You could smell the leather of the seats and feel incredibly retrò my smoking a cigarette inside.
We drove through a tunnel and we opened the windows to listen to the sound of the engine. That moment felt endless... I was so happy, I thought life blessed me. I remember thinking " This moment is unique and awesome. Beauty never lasts but it does feel forever"
We arrived in Turin for the concert of the band Skatalites.
They spread beautiful, positive energy and we could not stop dancing!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach my language, talk about italian culture and lifestyle. I am also pretty good at braiding hair.
I would like to learn how to re-use old things, create useful tools with recycled material such as plastic and paper. I also would like to start using organic products instead of chimical ones in everyday cleaning.
One day I want to prepare my own soap and candles!
I also want to learn singing and speaking Spanish! and cooking fish
