Hello! I am a traveler artist at the moment exploring Portugal. I like to meet new interesting people, travelling not as a tourist, see awesome places and eat amazing food ( after all, I am italian! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I believe this is a genuine way to meet other people that are like me, traveling, adventurous, looking to discover the world. I think it is amazing that we can give to each other a place to stay and welcome strangers in our world. Our home is our sacred place, so by opening our doors to others we are opening our arms too. In society everything is about money and the ego, but couchsurfing showed me another side to the humans, where we can be authentic and giving to people we don't know. I travel a lot and stay mostly with friends but I am open to meet different people and create new contacts. When I get back to Italy and remain in one place for long enough, I absolutely want to host travelers too and show them the beauty of my city from its underground perspective.

Interests

I am an artist and drawing is my field of expertise. My passion is painting and I have made many murals and street art and wall illustrations in hostels. I also am into photography and cinema, mostly what would be considered out of the box, art that makes you think and question reality.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate the work of David Lynch, Peter Greenaway, Tim Burton, Wes Anderson, Taika Waititi, Q. Tarantino who are among my favorite directors. I have very eclectic style in music, from electronic to jazz and it would be easier for me to say what I dislike!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-The Annapurna Trekking in flip flops. (wouldn't do it again)
-Got lost in the Malaysian Jungle
-Survived in Tasmania with 3$

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about the different ways that people live and if they have a different culture or routine than mine, what is it that keeps you going. I like deep conversations where we get to know each other and let the other one enter our mind, even if it is just for one night. We are strangers but we are open to the others and this is magical. I believe that every person in this world has something to teach me and vice versa, no matter how different we are and where we come from. There are as many ways of living as there are people on this planet. And every new skill I learn is something that makes me grow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you anything regarding drawing and painting, even make something for your home according to your taste in art! I can also share cooking skills and travel stories, teach you italian and drink good wine. I am very clean, organized and trustworthy. I can definitely share time and escapades with you, movie nights and fun times. I am a colorful person filled with creative ideas.
