About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy the blessing of being alive

ABOUT ME

Solar. but Lunar too. Smiling, yes, smiling a lot, even if in pain. Adventurous, even if in fear. Inquiring. Lunatic, just a bit. Romantic, just a lot. Laughable sometimes. Abstract (?). I like to desappear. But kind (I believe in kindness). Imaginative.

I always try to give/receive good vibrations to/from other animals (human beings included).

Mind wide open (sometimes brain trying to escape, though)

My priority is to enjoy life and build connections with people, based on joy and mutual help.

PHILOSOPHY

traveling without an other reason but the travel itself

trying to learn and discover without judgment

loving generously

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a couchsurfer I really believe in mutual respect.

Sometimes seems hard to understand each other, when you have different cultures and languages, but it takes just one smile to go through any incomprehension!
Being patient and smiling, that is the secret!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once in Brazil a big and stupid guy from CS woke me up in the middle of the night naked with his dick in his hand trying to fuck me.

I ran away at 6 in the morning... to an other CSurfer's place! Even if I was scared and I could just loose my faith in CS.

This is because I do believe in CS philosophy and I won't let stupid people ruin it.

Interests

I'm a musician, or better said: I love to sing songs

I graduated in jazz drumming in Conservatorio di Musica S.Cecilia, Roma

love to ride bicycle despite the "jungleness" of Rome

I'm vegan, but I don't like to moralize, judge and stress other people... I do respect every diet

I make my own soap, actually, I make ALL my cosmetics at home: I'm a little sorceress

I play guitar and sing, even under the shower (even if the guitar gets wet) ;)

I love to cook and I'm pretty good in that! :)
