CURRENT MISSION

Launching my freelance writing career, learning Wordpress, and hoping to get paid to travel the world and write about it. Also eating anything that comes across my path.

ABOUT ME

I love horseback riding, hiking, and everything gastronomic. I am avid chef, nerd, bookworm and freelance writer. I'm addicted to sci-fi and classic video games.

PHILOSOPHY

I think of the world as my own personal Zelda game. Believe in people and kindness, and pay attention to everyone's stories to learn anything of value.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been to gatherings in Paris, and unofficially hosted (and been hosted by) people I met through CS. I loved my experience in Paris and so I began hosting here in Italy as well. Though I live in a small town the food and university scene is thriving so it makes it an exciting, beautiful and delicious place to live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted, surfed and gone to plenty an event all over the world. Though I can't host at the moment I'm still eager to meet fellow travelers, and share experiences.
