About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, world and people...

ABOUT ME

(temporary unavailable because I'm travelling a lot)

How to say who I am? I left this description empty but... the point is I need to improve my English skills for that. Anyway, I'll try:

I'm a single but no lonely woman. I love my work, I love learning, I love meeting people as I see that teach more than hundred of books... But it doesn't mean I don't like them (see below... )

PHILOSOPHY

If you wait always the best from people, they will do...

I usually see the bottle half filled...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm an active couchsurfer from 2006. Whenever I have be asked I have host people, if I was at home and available.
Although I live in a small village, there are some periods when requests are more than what I can afford

Interests

Travel!

I like to watch people and their behaviours. I try to be more and more understanding with human weakness...

  • books
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • music
  • tourism

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favourite films is Fargo. Pulp Fiction... Todo sobre mi madre....

Music? Bossa nova, ethnic music...

Books? that's my favourite way to fill my leisure time, althought since I have computer at home... I read less than before.
I like Isabel Allende, Paul Auster, Gunter Grass, Garcia Marquez... Let me recommend you "Silk", by Alessandro Baricco

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Santorini, november, by night: full moon over the vulcano in the middle of the bay, music.... and that silver bright....

Geneva, Ancient Instruments museum: the man who showed me, as the only visitor, every instument, played it for me. I'll never forget the clavicembalo's sound.

2009: Bulgary, paraglading over Roses Valley.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always a student. I don't remember when I have been without having something to study, to learn... At the same time, I like to explain others what I know, although I'm not always able: I must improve my didactic skills!
