About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Settling back to Europe in the lovely city of Amsterdam!

ABOUT ME

I'm Italian but I've lived in Chengdu,China for nearly 8 years.
Traveling is my big passion,in fact last year I set off on a 6 months solo journey from Asia to Europe and through 11 countries.

PHILOSOPHY

The beauty in this world is endless,you can't just seat in front of your window!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately,at the moment I can't offer my couch,for these last 6 months in China I'm already sleeping on someone else's couch, I can however,offer my company,my smile and my experience about Chengdu,the city where I've been living since 7 years.If you stop by here,call me to hang out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Well,I love traveling and I said that many times already!

Music, Movies, and Books

-My interests in movies are pretty much unique,but in general I like artsy movies or movies that after you watched them,they definitely leave you with something inside..
- I don't like to define music by genre, so I'd better tell you what's the last band I've download:"Chvrches",what's the song I keep on listening lately: "Dogs day are over"by Florence+Machine and what was the best music discovery of 2013: "An awesome way"by Alt J. Ok, I promise at some point I'll write down all the bands I like.
- Books? Well,someone,in a moment of anger,had told me I don't read book and therefore I'm not a valuable person,can you believe it?...
(I'm currently reading "The Happiness Advantage"by Shawn Achor).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done and seen many amazing things,and yet more have to come!I remember facing Mt.Bormeo in Indonesia erupting lava and the heavy storm that hit me after that,I remember the stillness and gaudy pose of the monk I've spotted meditating on the edge of the lagoon I was paddling in Sri Lanka.Etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not aware of what I can teach:take the most wonderful from me and about me and make it yours!(I'll do the same with you)
Life is a learning process,I will never stop learning and sharing,well..hard to say in this society...I'm up to share any kind of love anywhere!
