About Me

Born and raised in Sicily, lived in Milan for four years and then moved to Barcelona where I've done my Master in Marketing til last june and I am still enjoying the good weather and tapas here while working for a Media Agency.

I am an active tiny bullet.

I like doing sports of any sort and hiking too, yet the urban jungle allows me only gyms like an old good hamster.
At nights I fall asleep while reading a book, but I love reading during the day, too. Philosophy is my favourite.

As every good Sicilian, I grew up in one of those families where grandmas cook from 6am in the morning til bedtime, and that's how I involuntarily inherited the passion for cooking (yes, you can ask me any delicious italian dish and I'll make sure you get the same amount of calories my grandma gives me with her olive oil waterfalls).

In days made of 24h I strive to drink 2litres of water, training, eating healthy, recycling and watering my cactus . When I have some time left after all that I sleep too.

Outgoing, Outspoken and Outside the box, I like weird electronic music, inspiring people and engaging chats, preferably in the company of some wine, beer or good holy gin and tonic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Human beings, cultures, knowledge and places are all so different and special that it is worth it to give us an opportunity to mutually exchange a tiny bit of those in every unforgettable trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to prepare the best Italian dishes (not everybody is a cook, but everybody loves to eat) but also tips on how to burn those magical pots of calories in an easy enjoyable way. If you have plants in your house I'll suggest you the best tricks to keep them stunning (I have lived three months in a farm in Germany planting, cooking, baking and so many other beautiful things). If you read I'd love to share opinions on the books we've read both. And if you are into electronic music as well I'd be happy to bring some new good vibes to your place :))
