About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style

ABOUT ME

I'm sunny, energetic and I love having fun. I'm always available when someone wants to go somewhere or wants to do something. I define me as a sort of chameleon: wherever you put me I see only the best!!

PHILOSOPHY

belive in my abilities. even if everything or everyone runs against.
At the end, there's nothing to lose, but lots to gain.
And if one day I'll realise I'll be unable to keep going with my projects.... never mind! I know I've tried at least!!....
............and I will start a restaurant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I registered in August 2012, and I've had very few occasions to enjoy CS experience directly since then.

I got to know CS when I was a student in Trieste.
From my poor experience I can say that it's a fantastic way to enjoy the place one's visiting, share experiences with locals and meeting new people... One of the couchsurfers I hosted is still a great friend of mine and we have visited each other many times in the past years. This is amazing!!

I hope I will be able to host and surf again and again.

Interests

I love wasting time ....with good music in the background!!!
I love fitness... and dancing.... and doing drama...
I also have a strong interest in gastronomy and food sustainability.
Culture and traditions of different countries interest me a lot. So, when I find myself somewhere I'm keen on going to folk-music festivals, eating and drinking and taste new flavors and foods of that country.
I love nature... There is nothing better for me than staying out, breathing deeply the fresh air and feeling the sun on my skin. A beautiful landscape is able to touch me deeply.
Finally, but most importantly, I love novelty! The unknown, the unexperienced, the challenging.. these appeal me veeeery much!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: There is no kind of music that's not worth listening!!
I think that when a song can touch you deeply, it has reached its goal!!! For this reason I really can't say I have a specific favourite kind of music.
I love every type of music and I love knowing new genres and artists.
However, I would say that pop/commercial and r'n'b music are not really my cup of tea.

Movies: Tarantino and Besson, geniuses!
my favourite movie ever is "Mediterraneo" from Salvadores.
I love some musical too (i.e. Jesus Christ Super Star, Hair, Priscilla Queen of the Desert... watched thousands of times).
Then, again, the same rule applies to music as much as to movies.

Recent books.... Same as above again.
Although, I don't read very much - I have to say... not as much as I did when I was in school at least.
I am not proud at all for that, and I don't have a real explanation why. I have always blamed university and web readings for this... but who knows

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was in the mountains and I did an iron road. When we got on the top of it (at 1800 mt), the mountain rage was so thin, with overhangings on both sides, that i felt such a strong mixture of dizziness and excitement.
Never felt something similar again. It was like to be suspended in midair between two deep valleys. it was amazing.
