About Me

CURRENT MISSION Uncover the secrets of humanity together with other special human being that I encounter along the way. Once done, maybe I can do a TED speech?

ABOUT ME I am a quite talkative and sometimes find it hard to sum up. Usually people like to hear my infinite stories, which tell everything about my personality, being someone who enjoys the moment and values each instant. I want people to know me for who I actually am. =) i am very ambitious and spontaneous😆 oh, and i do smile a lot 😃
Profession-wise After having volunteered for 6 months as educator at a school in France, 9 months as a cameraman/editor at a local television in Aalborg(Denmark), and having participated in many trainings and European youth exchanges all over the world, I decided to study Multimedia Design and Communication in Aarhus. I then had an internship in India, which allowed me to get the Academic Professional degree in Multimedia Design and Communication. Then I was feeling like trying to do something related to Shipping? Although my various background had nothing to do with it, I have been a trainee for the biggest shipping company in the world 😃 The big corporate world did not reflect my needs, so I then started to work for a smaller company.

******** UPDATE ******** After 8 years in Denmark, I have now quit my job in order to pursue my dream to backpack around the world. An ambitious goal, but I am determined to fulfill it. I started on 15/10/2018 to rediscover my roots in Italy. On 20/01/2019 I have boarded on a one way flight to Argentina; my starting point to discover South America... Please inspire me with your fabulous stories & experiences.

PHILOSOPHY Carpe Diem. This is how I got to travel around without having any whatsoever money support from my family! Also, I believe that together we can change the world. Although it sounds a bit cliche', I firmly believe in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have participated in some CS meetings and it was very interesting and challenging at the same time! Sometimes being a local can be boring when it comes to tell the same story again and again, but hey, through CS I met some of my best friends in Denmark! =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately, I only had the opportunity to host once because the places where I was living were too small, and it was a mess already for me to live there. Sometimes also sharing flats with conservative flatmates is not really helping...=)
I hope in the future I will be able to host more =) Always up for beers or coffees though!

Interests

In my free time, I like to sing. I sang in a semi professional Danish pop/classic choir for 2,5 yrs and we do all kinds of music, from songs in latin to Beatles hits!
I am now part of an acapella voice band, which I enjoy a lot!

I love nature. When I travel it is what I care for the most.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to movies i like long, messed up movies like Mulholland Drive. The more i dont understand, the more i find it challenging and like it.

With books i like short and deep books like Animal Farm or the Alchemist (which is also one of my biggest inspirations)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A trip to Capraia Island where I got incredibly lost with a friend of mine and we had to fight thirst... but after all, that was funny =)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn how to play the guitar, as I am still a beginner. Have ukulele and piano too.😃
I want to learn what life is, maybe someone can help...!=)
