Ciao dear couch surfing community!

My name is Felice, I am a very laid-back and cheerful theatre/drama student, still young enough to go through life with a „happy-go-lucky“ mind-set and old enough to know better. I enjoy philosophy memes and on the political side: there's only a wall left of me. ;)

Being a bit of the adventurous type, I dislike having my life disrupted by routine. That's why I travel as much as I can: To explore, to dream, to discover, to broaden my mind and to make new friends. Because as Tolkien said: Not all those who wander are lost ☺

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hospitality has been a human constant across time and space and I am glad that Couchsurfing upholds this tradition as it provides one with a fantastic opportunity to learn about the rich and versatile world of couches as well as that of their owners. ☺

Interests

After a few cups of coffee, I can get enthusiastic about almost anything, especially if it somehow belongs in the realms of "aesthetics". I truly love music, literature, films and theatre and participate in a lot of projects that involve and revolve around the performing arts.

Music, Movies, and Books
