CURRENT MISSION

build a peaceful world...and only through people exchange this will be possible

ABOUT ME

Ciao!!I love travelling and I think the best way to know new places and to better understand the culture and history of these places is to have direct contacts with people who live there. I love meeting new people, visiting new places and I like very much guiding in my city!!I'm a sunny person and a great talker!!

I'm NOT ACCEPTING guests at the moment only because I'm currently living in ROME but I still don't have my own flat...so I haven't changed my location profile yet because it will be difficult to verify my location and I have to choose one location for my profile :(
If you need anything in Rome, please feel free to contact me :)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to do my best in everythig I do. I try to spend time with those I love and learning new things..sometimes I m a bit lazy and I like just to relax...but then my curious spirit wakes me up and I try to live every day in the best way...I always try to be optimistic and sunny..but it s not always easy!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have my own flat in Bergamo, so I always have to ask permission to my parents to host someone...but any time I have the possibility I host those who ask me for help..or I help people by guiding them in my town, giving suggestion about restaurants, places to see, transport means...any time I have time I try to do my best...I m quite busy so if I say no please believe me I really could not help you in this moment!I hope I'll have in the future my own flat to host whoever I want!
I also love travelling so sometimes I need a couch to stay...or just some tips about the places I'm going to visit...just not to miss anything and to see the places through natives' eyes!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
When I was 17 I was hosted for one year by a wonderful Belgian family: it was my first experience as a host in another country and during that experience I decided that the best way to know a country was visiting it starting from the people and from their houses :)
Then when I lived and travelled around France, Brazil and China I was hosted by lots of families (not always through HC or CS...but I think that it does no matter,the experience in itself is the most important thing) and I really fell in love with their people.
I was hosted by CouchSurfers several times and I had the possibility to guide some surfers in Bergamo or to offer them an ice-cream or a dinner. I also have a 3years experience as Hospitality Club member and I'm volunteer for a no-profit organization that organizes student exchanges...so I have lots of nice hosting experiences...
Actually my first experience as HC memeber was in the States were my brother and I spent 2 weeks travelling from Texas to California...we met lots of interesting people, in particular a couple in New Mexico(they were really so cute,we love them!!!they prepare a wonderful dinner and cake for my birthday!!) and a very nice couple in San Jose that makes us feel at home.
Another summer I was in Ireland with my boyfriend and other 3 guys and we were hosted all 5 for one night in Londonderry by a super cool guy that prepares stew for us!!
I also have lots of experience as host (except for friends from all over the world that come sometimes to visit me):a Finnish family with 2 wonderful children,a Polish couple, a Russian couple, a Brazilian boy, and so on...I always have really very good impression...sometimes time was too short and there was just time for a chat...other times I could discover really how the world interesting could be..well actually I think I could travel only if I meet some natives..places and things have another taste..and also my city have different faces if you see it through other peoples'eyes!!
