About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living, learning, exploring all that life can offer me.

ABOUT ME

I have an obsession in my life: travelling.
Well, actually it's long time I don't travel.. I did my last trip abroad in the end of November 2014...
I love life. I love to improve myself by keeping my mind wide open and sharing experiences with people. I talk a lot, and occasionally (when I remember it) I think, as well. :-)

For me the "diversity" between people, between cultures, between minds, is the main source of growth that people can have.

I love meeting people from all over the world, talking in english with them, gaining more independence by sharing experiences, visiting new countries. I think it's important to get in touch with other different cultures, learning new languages even if when I speak englsh I'm little bit ridicoulous :-)

PHILOSOPHY

The more you learn the more you EARN

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I discovered "CouchSurfing" by a friend who told me about this particular "way of travelling".
So I started to get some informations about this popular site and then I decided to create my own profile in order to meet people from all over the world.

About three years ago (25th of August, 2012), for the first time, I met my two first CS friends: a couple of russian guys who hosted me in Helsinki! And a finnish guy, also. They both have been really kind and polite with me, and since then I felt in love with Couch Surfing (even if i don't use it for long periods due to my work, unfortunately :( )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had about six CS experiences from 2012 till today:) I hope to have other experiences as soon as possible.
I've mostly been hosted, but I'm looking forward to hosting people, too. I'm planning that with a friend of mine, right now:)

Interests

I've an "obsession", in my life: traveling.
I love my country (Italy), but I think I MUST know what lies beyond it. I hunger to know. Hunger to live. I've always been living in Italy, but I've always dreamed about living and working abroad, meeting other cultures, learning languages.learning in general, and the "Erasmus" ,for me, it has been the perfect opportunity to make this happen.. to gain more independence, widen my horizons, and also to enrich my curriculum vitae to facilitate to get a job abroad in the future. I think that this experience could enable me to develop a background of very precious knowledge.

Other interests: reading (I read too much), cooking recipes invented by me, dancing... , studying in the field of "autism in children", enjoy myself with friends..

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: I'm not bounded to the stupid concept of "genres".
Today I can go crazy for "WISH YOU WERE HERE" (Pink Floyd).
Tomorrow I wake up in the morning with "Baby can I hold you" (Tracy Chapman) in my mind.
Yesterday I was listening "Love in Vain," (Rolling Stones), and ,at the same time, "I muscoli del capitano" (Francesco de Gregori).
I like the single song. Not the entire album.
Doesn't exist an ENTIRE album that I ENTIRELY like.
A like the single artist, but NOT ALL SONGS OF THE ARTIST

FILMS and BOOKS: too many films and books. I do not want to list them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever seen is the Aurora Borealis, in Lapland, during my Erasmus in Finland, 2 years ago
