About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy

ABOUT ME

I am from Naples but I've lived in different places so I am a mix of different features: I like staying with my friends or meeting new friends, but I also love staying alone at home watching a movie or reading a book. I am fairly tidy and I love my home because I bought it and restored it with much love (and money! :D ) and I respect at the same way the other people's houses! I have a lot of friends everywhere in Italy and often I host them on the week-end and they host me.

When I go abroad for holidays, I like to visit museums, archeological sites, interesting places, but, first of all, I love to stay with people that live there, to understand their way of life and thinking, this is the main reason I decided to become a CSer!

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every CS vouch I receive :), swimming with nurse-sharks skates and dolphins, discovering myself, looking at the sunset on the top of Tikal temples and the dawn above a Saharian dune, falling in love, eating a lot of fruits covered by white chocolate at Oktoberfest, singing and dancing under the rain (without umbrella!) in a little square of Siracusa, my wonderful trip alone around the Balkans and much more... :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I practice the Latin American dance and, if you like it, I can show you all the places to dance it, in Bologna and surroundings; I also can lead you into some discos where they play and dance rock music (I love it!).
I'm quite a good cook (Italian cuisine, obvious!) at least my friends are still alive! ahahah! and you can taste my dishes, mainly pizza or pasta with various sauces.
If you like italian language I'm always proud to teach a little of it and let you practice. Otherwise I love learning some words of unknown (for me) languages... But not only bad words! :D
