CURRENT MISSION

Let things go on their own roads, crystalize everything in my heart.

ABOUT ME

My parents are from Genova and Bologna, but I grew up in a city near Venice.
I lived in Trieste for 4 years, where I graduated in foreign literature and then I did my master degree in Post-colonial literature in Bologna.
I spent one yeah in Glasgow, where I did my Erasmus. I definitely left a piece of my heart in Scotland;)

**Currently living in Oporto, in Portugal, where I am doing a interneeship:)**

I love every form of art : literature, visual art, music!
I like to travel, I'm taking CS as the chance to travel more, meet new people, open my mind.
Every time I see a place that I find really beautiful, I try to paint it in a piece of paper :) I am not a painter, but I believe that any kind of drawing that can express an emotion is beautiful, no matter of the technique or the experience of its author!

PHILOSOPHY

"Be curious, not judgmental"
(W. Whitman)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

(!) At the moment I can't host because I left my university apartment, but as soon as I will get one I will be happy to host new travelers!

I used a lot CS during my travels, it has always been a good experience and it has often saved my life when all the hostels were taken or if I was suddenly changing my route somewhere :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I found myself in CS before signing in : one night I met a couchsurfer who had lost his last train and hadn't a place to stay, so I offered him my couch! After this random but nice experience, I signed in and the following summer I traveled around Andalucia always hosted by amazing CS. Wonderful experience, wonderful people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hard to resume what I love!

About music, I am really open minded and curious : from rockin' Rolling Stones to headbangin' Iron Maiden, from psychedelic Flaming Lips to raw Iggy Pop.

Literature
Beat Generation, Bukowski, Hemingway, Kafka, Whitman, Sartre, Hesse, Neruda, Pirandello, Salinger, Benni, Camus, Pessoa and moremore

Movies
I got a list of the must-seen-movies-in-life, but every time I need it, I can't find it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to one of the last concert of James Brown

I did a grill-party on a small deserted island

Sziget Festival for 7 days. And there I've enjoyed the best concerts of my life

I took part to the creation of a free-press (Well, the project died after two volumes, but we tried!)

In Glasgow I took part as volunteer of the Woodlands Community Kitchen, in a project against the food-waste. In few hours with a wonderful volunteering team we totally improvised a dinner for 60 people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want, I NEED to improve my languages skills!

I'm learning to play acoustic guitar.
Lessons and advices are more than welcomed :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
