About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adjusting to motherhood 😵 difficult job! No more time for travelling solo but plenty of time for hosting.

ABOUT ME

Italian origins and recently moved to Swavesey, about 15mins away from Cambridge. My job involves small people to stop chewing pens and writing love messages on desks other than teaching a bit of Spanish and French.

PHILOSOPHY

Tempus fugit...carpe diem! and I can add also add Do ut des and Intelligenti pauca. These are my best quotes that resume my personal philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help people out and to make new friends.

Interests

I like discovering new places, new life styles and new yummy food.
Now interested in diverse parenting styles and how mommas around the world cope with their little ones :)

I would love a pet one day and a bigger house and my daughter to be independent so I can have 5 mins to go to the toilet 😅

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A child. What an experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

For when I host in Italy: Entrance to Pompeii ruins costs 15,00 euros. Zero for archeology, arts history or architecture students.

10€ for getting to the top of mount Vesuvius.

Around 40€ if you want to get a ferry to Capri or Ischia islands.

For when I host in England: the bus from my house to Cambridge is £7 return and will take you in town in about 30 mins.

There are lakes near where I live for paddling and kayaking, you need a licence for it.

In Cambridge most things are free and you can enter some colleges for a visit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch, a toilet, a tiny bit of my small knowledge.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Croatia, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, San Marino, Scotland, Seychelles, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State

Countries I’ve Lived In

Italy, United Kingdom
