Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm very sociable, open-minded and sensitive. I love interacting with the most diverse people, having fun and not taking life too seriously, but I also have an emotional side.
PHILOSOPHY
I love life and every living thing. On a more practical level, I am interested in local politics and believe that the world can change if only we all unite and give our little contribution to make the planet a better place.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I still live at home but as soon as I will move out or already when I have the possibility, I plan to host as many people as physically possible!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am new to this system but I really love the idea of it and can't wait to plunge myself into it. I have a friend in Florence who has been doing it for ages, so I have met many of his guests. Last New Year's I had the chance of celebrating with a super international group thanks to his couch surfing. Can't wait to enjoy the perks of it again!
Interests
I am very passionate about history of art, for which in Florence is a real treat. In fact, I would be happy to show guests around the city and to explore all the amazing art Florence has to offer (e.g. Uffizi). When traveling abroad, I love visiting museums, churches and any contemporary art installation or exhibition.
I aslo like working out and sports in general. My favorite activities include jogging, cycling and artistic gymnastics, which I have been doing since I was 5. I also teach gymnastics to little girls.
I love cooking. I am interested in all types of cuisines and I would like to learn how to cook non-Italian dishes, since I already know my way around Italian cuisine. I like cooking for my friends and having dinner parties.
I adore nature and like excursions, hiking, trekking, skiing, camping and all wildlife experiences. I love animals and bird-watching. I have always had pets.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love going to the cinema and seeing the latest movies. My favorite movie is La Vita è Bella and my favourite director is Quentin Tarantino. I like all kinds of music, especially cheerful and rhythmic music, from ethnic percussions to pop and electroswing. I like reading, especially Pirandello, Pavese and Calvino. I prefer classics to contemporary novels.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went interrailing around Europe twice and really enjoyed it, got to see so many amazing things. I would recommend it as an experience to anyone. I have been to see the coral reef in the Red Sea and absolutely loved it, went snorkeling and got to see the most amazing sea creatures.
