About Me

I have a huge problem, I can't sit still for a second. I am curious by nature, always willing to try new things, learn new stuff, cook new recipes (hint hint ;) and make the best out of my time, especially when travelling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because my friend Lorenzo dragged into this fantastic community of people that never let me down! I met some amazing people and every single one of them inspired me to get more and more involved. I like to believe that thanks to CS I am a better person, more open-minded and more well travelled than ever before.

If I can inspire other people as couchsurfers inspire me we can make this world a better place.

Interests

Travelling, anyone? Haha. One of the reasons why I love London so much is that it has many airports to escape from it, isn't it ironic?!

Sports: as you can guess I love surfing.. I still suck at it but that's what makes it so appealing, I love a good challenge! Then snowboarding, football, running.. did I mention I am running London marathon? I am raising money for charity https://www.justgiving.com/fr4cancer hint hint ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies! My fav directors are Aronofsky (Requiem for a dream, Black swan), Tarantino (Kill bill, Reservoir dogs, Pulp fiction..), Sergio Leone (The good, the bad and the ugly), but actually I love to watch movies, from french comedies to dramatic intense movies. I have quite an eclectic taste about music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dyed my hair blonde for charity (or because I am just a bit crazy haha).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you some nice bits of London, especially I love doing things that you would not find on a tourist guide. I love going to gigs in town, cooking a nice meal (better yet if you want to cook something from your own place ;) or we can go and check out that nice hipster bar that just opened around the corner.
As you can tell I am really into sports, I am keen to go for a run, cycle, swim or gym and more than happy to share my knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good laugh, a good italian meal ;) anything sporty or going for events around town!
