About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the world! No kidding, my mission so far is a Road Trip across the US and a trip "into the wild" in the Last Frontier: Alaska!

ABOUT ME

I grew up with a very unusual name. I guess this is the reason which made me who I am! I'm a full-time vegetarian and (my friends say) a very funny person, an happy dreamer and a Murphy's Law-follower...if something wrong can happen usually it happens to me!
I truly love travel: a backpack and few curiosity are the most amazing things on Earth. I'm an independent person, I don't mind travelling alone, and is also healthy for your nerves...I can see what I want! :)
I love meeting new people and share stories about new countries and cultures. I'm a very open-minded person, quality that I really admire in people so far. I'm also able to admit when I'm wrong (!) and laugh about myself!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't panic, take a breath!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm travelling now, so I can only surf. But when I'll be back in Italy (not sure when though!) I will be able to host too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is gonna be my first experience in online couchsurfing, but I already slept on many couches (and floors!)

Interests

I love READING, especially road-trips books and biography (I love Mike McIntyre's "The Kindness of Strangers- Penniless across America"), KAYAKING, HIKING, FLYING (with the plane I mean, every time I feel so free!) MUSIC, MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY, COOKING (I make great cakes!), DREAMING and VOLUNTEERING. I'm a volunteer in an hospital for children with disabilities in Croatia from a couple of years, and my life dramatically changed (in positive) after this very hard experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Into the Wild, Driving Lessons, Harry Potter, Tim Burton's movies, SF and so much more!

I love rock music, folk and ska. Music is my best friend, following me everywhere I go! I've been to many concerts in the past few years, and I think there's nothing like singing Ska-P's songs under the rain like I did in Genoa :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some amazing things I've done are:
-I survived to a "missed flight" from S. Francisco to Chicago, last summer. It was my first time in the USA and I was completely freaked out!
-I completed the Cliff Walk in Ireland, standing in front of the ocean without words...outstanding!
-I'm gonna go skydiving in few weeks!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know Italian, cooking, farming, how to mow the grass (!), drawing. I love going to concerts and having fun!

A thing I really want to learn is how to play the ukulele...I bought one, but is still in the box!
