About Me

I come from the Italian Alps and I lived for seven years between Edinburgh and Tromsø, Norway, where I did a masters in Indigenous Studies. Foodie and creature of the outdoors. Wild mountains are my jam but I also enjoy the city dolce vita.

My philosophy is simple: respect yourself and all that surrounds you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great way to explore the world. You become almost a local for the duration of your stay, by getting to know places through the eyes of those who inhabit them.
I can't always give hospitality but if you fancy a coffee and a chat about Edinburgh feel free to get in touch.
I was hosted by incredible people in the wonderful eco-village of Zelenkovac ,hosted by Borislav Janković(in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in Oslo and in Brussels. We used to host loads of couchsurfers in my old flat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To contemplate the world from a mountain top. Every day. For two months. Drinking home-brewed beer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to hear your stories and learn your recipes. Also, I'm always happy to help out with animals and gardening, I love spending time outdoor.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and I'm always happy to cook for loads of people. As we learn from our Mums and Grandmas in Italy, making food for someone is a way of showing your affection and appreciation, as well as one of nicest ways of looking after someone you love and making strangers feel welcomed.
