Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived for one year in Ethiopia and had so many amazing experiences there! I lived in Venice for three full years, traveled alone to Cuba, walked the Camino the Santiago in Spain, visited Isla del Sol in Titicaca Lake, worked in local communities in Brazil, Bolivia, and Colombia, and I traveled there with my boy, to off the grid fishing communities, to the Chapada Diamantina in Brazil, and to other amazing places. I am currently doing research on Colombia and traveling there every summer for my fieldwork (I am an anthropologist). I lived in Paraguay (which almost nobody knows) for five years! I had the wonderful experience of two Vipassana meditation retreats while I was living and working there. We were in Costa Rica in December 2020 and we are heading to the Amazon in June 2021 😁
Since June 2022 I am back home in Italy for a while, and I am exploring and discovering my own wonderful country with new eyes 🇮🇹💕👀👌🏽
