ABOUT ME

I love good laughs, clear skys with sparse white clouds, loud singing, random whistling, warm cappuccino, especially the foam..sometimes I would order just a cup of foam..coolest cappuccino I've drunk? Made with coconut milk!I can be quite determined, tend to be workaholic and, sometimes, quite..very lazy. Better listener than I am a speaker. A minimalist, but color-maniac. I like simple shapes, open, natural landscapes. I'm very proud of my family, dog included, and I know I wouldn't be what I am without them. I consider myself so lucky that I want my luck to be a seed of good around me. I strive to make a difference for the better, either for an improved environment and rational use of common resources or for the disadvantaged and underprivileged. I am attracted by foreign cultures and by difference in general. I enjoy learning every sort of thing and resting, in the open air.. I sleep too little!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't panic! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Coming soon

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my family we have a tradition of welcoming people to our table and hosting them even when they are not close friends. When I lived in Venice and a Korean friend and her friend came to visit, I left them my room and put a matress in the living room for myself. The longest I have coach-hosted someone is for one month. I enjoy the feeling of being useful to others while making or nurturing friendships.
