I came back to my hometown after a 3+ years of traveling in South America. I had to pause my trip due to Covid-19, but nomadic life is still as tempting as ever. Until I decide to give in to temptation again, I am eager to host/meet fellow travellers and like-minded people.
I live in Sesto Fiorentino (see MyHome) and I spend most of time volunteering at an animal shelter. Otherwise, I work as a tour leader.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

CS because you give expecting nothing in return, but you get so much.
CS because you receive thinking you give nothing in return, but you give so much.
Since I started using CouchSurfing I have received SO MUCH in terms of love, care, food, shelter, unique experiences, family life, friends for a lifetime. It is definitely one of my favorite ways of traveling and experience the country/city/village like a local.

兴趣

Nomadic soul, I love traveling on top of anything else. I go crazy about the smallest things, like camping under the stars, a good conversation around a fire, walking barefoot, drinking mate by a river, sharing a healthy meal, hiking in the woods, listening to the birds singing, the smell of the yellowish pages of an old book, getting my hands dirty, wide smiles and bear hugs.
I have a plant-based diet (vegan) and try to live my life as sustainable as possible.
I love writing and started a travel blog before my SA trip, thebackpackersway.com (@thebackpackersway) that needs some freshen up though lol :)

教，学，和分享

I love to learn anything the other person is willing to share, I have diverse interests and always curious to expand my knowledge. I know very little about music, but if you play or sing I'll be delighted to hear you.

Hugs, laughs, smiles. Veg food for the body and the soul. Travel stories over a glass of wine (or two). Time.
