About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a sustainable way of living, exploring different cultures and getting in touch with new people

ABOUT ME

Somos una especie en viaje,
no tenemos pertenencias
sino equipaje..

I was born in Florence but I always felt the need to go away and discover new places and new people. I like to travel and to get in touch with different cultures.
I love living in the countryside, a life in deep contact with nature and living in a sustainable way.
I work in wine cellars in the countries I visit, trying to be a winemaker!
I like to party, relax and enjoy good things of life, everything's better if you live with friends and in front of a glass of wine! I

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly use couch surfing to find peolple in the places I go to. I often change house, so I cannot assure the possibility of hosting people; if you want, please contact me, if I can't host you maybe I can look for something in my town, or just spend my time showing you the best and unknown sides of Florence.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always hosted several people in the houses where I lived, I love being in company of nice people! I recently registered to couchsurfing, and I have met great friends there.. I hope I'll have the same luck as a surfer!

Interests

Travelling, I think it's the best way to grow up mentally..
Nature. I love hike and live in beautiful places away from the caos of towns..
To have fun with friends, drinks or music or parties, playing guitar, whatever..
Reading, watching movies, cooking, listening music
Social Activism. I think that concepts like Equality and rights should be universally shared, fighting racism and ignorance..
